Brief Answer:
No, no antihistamine is known to case kidney damage.
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks so much for this query.
Antihistamine do not harm the kidneys. We may only need to adjust dosage and dosing interval for some of them since they are eliminated by kidneys to avoid toxicity/prolonged effects. In this light, you may report the specific antihistamine you have so that I can provide a personalized comment about it and how to go about.
I hope this guides and helps. I wish your wife well and looking forward hearing from you before making final remarks.
