Russian's have taken it for over 20 years now and
we haven't heard much from them, but I wouldn't execpt to.
In any case, I have conducted over 50 independent creatine trials,
all with different weightlifters/bodybuilders, and i do see an increased
kidney activity in the loading phase. This is most commonly seen by
increased urination, dryness in the mouth, and a increased thirst for liquids.
Which should all be expected.

Personally, I have been using creatine for over 5 years and have not seen
any adverse side effects to my kindeys.
