Thanks very much for your question.
Don't worry, this should be safe! We routinely prescribe up to 800mg of ibuprofen for patients even with kidney problems. 600mg should be fine. Drink plenty of water today to keep your kidneys working at their best potential, but you should suffer no long term side effects.
