Brief Answer:
Advil is the culprit, Ultram would cause more of liver issues

Detailed Answer:
Welcome to HCM

Please note that the Advil would cause kidneys to have less blood flow to them thereby causing them to be "injured", this is temporary and avoidance of the culprit drugs and drinking enough water will normally resolve the lab values.

The ultram will not affect the kidneys traditionally.

Hope this will help you.
