Hi,

Thanks for your question.

After going through your question, I can understand your concern.

It is extremely rare for gabapentin to cause these type of side effect.

You should seek urgent medical attention, as these symptoms may be due to
Acute Kidney Injury which may be aggravation of of your stage 3 kidney problem.
Which may be due to-
1) Decompensation of your congestive heart failure.
2) Any infection.
3) Drug induced.

You should visit ER for immediate clinical evaluation depending upon it there may be need for immediate hospitalization and further evaluation for the cause of acute kidney injury and cardiac evaluation and appropriate treatment.


Hope this helps you.
