Yes, it can. However, this is a potential side-effect of most drugs (since your kidneys have the job of filering most drugs out your bloodstream). In the same way, most drugs will list "liver damage" as a potential side-effect. It's rare to find a drug that do not list these as side-effects.

Is it possible to have proteinuria without renal failure?

Yes! You can have proteinuria without renal failure, and you can have renal failure without proteinuria. Some situations where you might have proteinuria in the absence of renal failure include over production of protein (eg. side effects of medications), glomerulonephritis/nephrotic syndrome (where you have inflammation in the kidneys, causing temporarily more permeable glomeruli), preeclampsia, or even transiently it may not be pathological at all. Ongoing nephrotic syndrome can cause permanent damage to the kidneys, eventually resulting in renal failure.
