Hi Prashanth,
There is potential for just about all medications to impact kidney function. I recommend working with your mothers physician to determine the cause of her kidney infection.
Here is a link to information on kidney infection - http://www.healthcentral.com/encyclopedia/408/343.html.
All the best,
