Default Hi from Md new GB diag in Dec

Hi all I was dia as type II w/ a1c of 10 & carrying 214#'s just before xmas. I was plaaced on Metformin 1000 mg 2x/day. Told to lose weight.
Now ir's April my a1c is 6.5 & I am down to 193#'s.
But... now I may have kidney probs. I have been passing stones and have blood in urine
Also high iron retention in blood.
Can metformin cause this? As it does control liver output???

Thanks for the replies in advance...
