##In light of the fact that many substances that contain silver are "called" CS, unless kidney damage is very common specifically to CS users [and I've not seen any indication that it is].... Any statements at all will have to include very specific descriptions of 'what' CS, what doseage, over what period of time, in how many tests on what sort of people with what sort of problems and metabolisms..and a host of other factors.
..then, define "damage".
Did the silver 'cause' the damage, or does silver have an 'affinity' for already damaged kidney cells as it does damaged brain and nerve cells. [A Silver/copper compound is used to make damaged brain areas stain for diagnosis and study but there's no indication that either 'causes' or furthers that damage]

"Neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) are a major defining neuropathological feature of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other tangle-bearing disorders. Because postmortem diagnosis of AD relies in part on the accurate detection of NFTs in the brain, a number of methods have been developed to visualize these neurofibrillary lesions in brain sections. NFTs consist of bundles of paired helical filaments (PHFs) and straight filaments (Goedert et al. 1995 ), and their main constituent is the hyperphosphorylated microtubule-associated protein, tau (Iqbal et al. 1989 ; Lee et al. 1991 ). The specific structural and biochemical properties of NFTs enable them to be differentiated from normal cellular elements using conventional methods, such as silver, thioflavin-S, and immunohistochemical staining."

We studied the effect of the duration (0.5-48 h) of silver impregnation on the intensity of Bodian's silver staining using formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded sections of a human brain. The silver ion (Ag+) and copper ion (Cu2+) in the silver protein solution were quantified simultaneously for treatments of various durations. Both the intensity of staining and the quantities of Ag+ and Cu2+ were greatly affected by the duration of silver impregnation. While the quantity of Ag+ considerably decreased during the first 4 h of impregnation, that of Cu2+ greatly increased. Only small changes were observed in both ions after 12 h. Neurofibrils or axons, and neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) were clearly stained after 12-24 and 16-48 h of impregnation, respectively. Strong staining of these components was not observed for other durations of treatment. The amount of metallic copper in silver impregnation also affected both the intensity of staining and the quantities of Ag+ and Cu2+ in the silver protein solution. Ag+ and Cu2+ were also present in the gold trichloride acid solution in which the section was toned. These findings suggest that both Cu2+ derived from metallic copper and silver protein are deposited on sections during silver impregnation, that the amount of Cu2+ may determine the amount of silver protein deposited on the section, and that the reduced (metallic) form of silver and copper on the section may participate in gold toning. Thus, to achieve strong staining of a desired component, it is important to examine the conditions of silver impregnation (i.e. duration and amount of metallic copper). For strong staining of neurofibrils, axons and NFTs, optimal results are obtained by the addition of 5 g of metallic copper foil to 100 ml of 1% silver protein solution, and by 16-24 h of impregnation.
