According to my research Keppra can have detrimental affects on the kidneys. It is NOT a typical problem. You should absolutely discuss this with your neurologist or GP. Any possible kidney issues should be fully examined before you continue with this medication
Good wishes to you Anwar.

Now Lamicatal on the other hand , I did experience Kidney Stones after being on it for a certain amount of time.
