Does Not Taking Ibuprofen And Wine Daily Cause Kidney To Repair Itself?

I am a 85 yr old male, in good health. However, my V.A. doctor found that I have a slight defect or abnormality in one kidney, and suggested avoiding daily intake of Ibuprofen (800 mg) daily, and of reducing my daily imbibing of 2 glasses of red wine (16 oz) to 1 glass of wine (8 0z). The target is to let the kidney repair itself. Comment?

Ibuprofen is nephrotoxic. so better to avoid it. there is no strong correlation between wine and kidney, but liver will be damaged. so better to avoid that also.
