The swelling you experienced is a well-known, harmless side effect of amlodipine, rather than a sign of kidney damage. Since your creatinine and urea levels are healthy, your kidneys are functioning well. Generally, further testing is not urgently needed, though your doctor might suggest a simple urine test to check for protein to be thorough. Please discuss this swelling with your physician, as they can adjust your amlodipine or Telmikind (telmisartan) to make you more comfortable.
