Depends on how damaged they already are. Creatinine is the blood test that determines how your kidneys are functioning. If the results show that your creatinine level is beyond the normal limit, they could still be "repairable" but take that as a warning sign. If it is WAY beyond limit, it could be a matter of time before you need a kidney transplant.
