Dear Pat,

Kadcyla doesn't appear to affect the kidneys much, but it might if you had a hypersensitivity reaction. However, you may be on other drugs to combat side effects, that might cause renal problems, or something other than a drug may have caused it.

I hope your doctors have been able to detect the cause (eg. infection, a kidney stone etc.) and started treatment. Let us know how you are going.

Best wishes
