Afib and Multaq

I am 85 years old. Have had afib since 2013 and was prescribed Multaq which I am still taking. I was diagnosed with Bradycardia a year ago and had a pacemaker implanted. I am concerned about taking Multaq for a prolonged period. I discussed this with my cardiologist, but he does not want to change my medication. My yearly checkups with my primary doctor are always good except for eGFR which is steadily getting lower. My doctor said it is because of my age and that I am probably not drinking enough water, but I wonder if the Multaq is destroying my kidneys. Has anyone been on Multaq for a long time?

I am 69 years old and took Multaq for just 4 months
My egfr kept going down and was finally at 54 so I quit it. After 2 months off of it my egfr went back to normal. I am having an afib ablation 10/18 and hoping it works.
