Can Snepdol Intake Cause Rise In Creatinine Levels?

Hi, my mother is a multiple myelomma patient with pathological fractures. She presently had completed her chemotherapy. She is presently prescribed Snepdol by orthopedics. She is now suffering from nausea and her creatine level has raised from 2.1 to 4.1. Her haemoglobin is also low - 5.9. We are thinking that the present inclusion of Snepdol is behind these, kindly advise.

The side effects that she is having are probably due to her chemotherapy and not snepdol. Snepdol side effects include dizziness, sedation and rarely liver toxicity or heart toxicity, but never any kidney toxicity or low hemoglobin. These however are side effects of the standard chemotherapy drugs used for multiple myeloma which i presume she has received.
