Nephrologist,  's  Response
HI
Thanks for your query

Based on the information which you have provided it is difficult to ascertain if your husband has a kidney problem and if any drugs are responsible for it.

If you could tell us the following reports, we would be able to shed more light on his problems: Blood urea and creatinine levels and a urine exam. Also helpful would be a list of medications which he is currently taking.

Hope this helps
Good luck.
