The nurse is providing supportive care to a client receiving hemodialysis in the management of acute kidney injury. Which statement from the nurse best reflects the ability of the kidneys to recover from acute kidney injury?

A. Acute kidney injury (AKI) does not always progress to end-stage renal disease; many clients recover partially or completely. B. Transplant is typically a treatment for chronic kidney disease, not AKI, and recovery can occur without it. C. Permanent dialysis is not always required in AKI; dialysis may be temporary while the kidneys recover. D. The kidneys can improve over a period of months — this is true for AKI, as kidney function may gradually return over time with appropriate treatment and supportive care.
