Nothing kidney-related comes to mind.

Don't really know, though they don't sound serious.  Is it possible this is pigment from something your finger skin rubbed against?  I would wait a week or two and then show a doctor if the spots aren't gone, or earlier if they spread.  but this doesn't sound like a skin disease I can readily visualize.

Take care.
