Neutral: Blessed thistle isn't known to impact kidneys w/ only short term use. However: it does contain tannins. Chronic tannin use can be associated with stones. Blessed thistle interacts w/ some medications--elevating levels of some in your bloodstream & decreasing others. If on these medications, taking it may then have an unexpected impact on kidneys. That aside, this herb is felt to be safe overall.
