Could Multiple Anti-rabies Vaccine Doses Have Caused My Reduced Urine Output And Possible Kidney Issues?

Hi Doctor, I got anti rabies vaccine 5 doses in 2013. Again in 2021 December, I got 5 doses of anti rabies vaccine due to an incident and anxiety. Then in 2023 July, I was experiencing foam formation from my urine. My egfr was 93. Few days later it went away. Now I am experiencing less urine output particularly in the morning after waking up. Can you please tell me if the extra doses of anti rabies vaccine caused any kidney issues? I am an Indian male, age 32.

Hi,

Generally a course of 5 dose anti-rabies vaccine confer immunity for 1-2 years. Hence a second course of 5 dose was genuinely required after your previous course about 8 years ago. There is no known long term side effect of anti-rabies vaccine on your kidneys. However, if there is any other reason for your symptoms, it is always better to see your doctor for a proper diagnosis of your condition and treatment done accordingly, if needed.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
