Hi,

Based on provided history I cannot comment on how danger is your kidney damaged. To rule out chronic kidney disease or kidney failure I suggest following investigation for you...
_serum urea, creatinine
_eGFR estimation
_urine output in 24 hour
_blood bicarbonate level
_serum potassium level

You can provide these reports to guide you further.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
