Hi pins and needles sensation is nothing to do with kidney. You are suffering from Wernicke's encephalopathy. In this condition peripheral nerve involvement is also common which could be the reason for pins and needles sensation. You need to take large doses of vitamin b12 injection. All the best. if you have any questions feel free to contact me.
