Picked it up a while ago, as when young I had acute nephritis (scarlet fever bug at school, 3 of us got N. 2 died). Pa always said to be mindful of drugs and related kidney probs, hence I check everything. Amazing how many times I have to pull up doctors due to this relationship - I'd be right furious if I got kidney failure due to meds...Oh boy, would I be, and then some!!
Think it is pretty rare though - hope so...
