Does my dog have kidney disease?

A month ago my dog, Chloe, got very sick. She was constipated and vomiting. The vet took blood work that showed she had pancreatitis and kidney disease. Her BUN was 76 and creatinine 5.6. Her pancreatic function numbers were (Am) 2148 and (LP) 2792. She was on IV fluids overnight and her numbers barely changed for her kidneys but her pancreas function numbers were (Am) 441 and (LP)550. I put her on supplements for kidney support; a multi-plus digestive plant enzyme blend, a probiotic blend, glandular, a kidney tonic containing Hawthorne berries, Ginkgo leaf, Astragalus Root, Burdock Root Couch Grass Rhizome, Marshmallow root,Nettle leaf, Dandelion Leaf, Spirulina Platensis, Rehmannia root and condonopsis. I also administered 200 ml. SubQ fluids a day. In 2 weeks her kidney values were within normal range, (BN) 20 and (CR) 1.4. Her pancreatic functions were (Am) 664, in normal range and (LP) 513, still high. Two weeks later we repeated her blood work and her kidney functions were even better. Her vet is saying pancreatitis caused her kidney values to be so high and I can discontinue her SubQ fluids. She doesn't place any value on the supplements. I thought her kidneys were failing and that the damage could not be reversed, so I am afraid to stop giving her the supplements and fluids. Is it possible her pancreatitis caused her horrible kidney numbers? Is it safe to discontinue the supplements and fluids?
