Hi
First consult a Nephrologist for evaluation of kidney disease and steps need to be taken to prevent further kidney damage like control of high BP.
Most of the painkillers need to be avoided in kidney patient.
But still there are some painkillers which are safe in kidney disease.Consult your doctor regarding this.
Take care
