Hello,

You can investigate with egfr estimation, serum urea, creatinine estimation to exclude kidney disease due to medication. Kindly mention the name of the medicine you are talking so that I can give comment on whether it can affect kidney or not.

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

Take care

Regards,
