Hyperprolactinemia: Hi. Yes, with the lactation, that hyperprolactinemia (hi PRL) is the real thing. It is most likely due to a benign pituitary tumor that makes PRL, but some drugs can cause hi PRL, and some tumors that don't make PRL can compress the pituitary stalk and elevate PRL. Hypothyroidism can sometimes elevate PRL, so TSH and free T4 should be checked. I don't think your kidneys have anything to do with it
