Ten days of 60,000 IU daily is a higher dose than I would give, but it is a short course and in a healthy 26-year-old kidney damage from this is very unlikely. The correct regimen for a level of 4.5 is 60,000 IU once a week for 8 weeks, then monthly. Stop the daily dosing now and do not repeat it.
Next Steps
Get serum calcium, creatinine and vitamin D checked after 6-8 weeks. Drink plenty of water. If you get nausea, vomiting, excessive thirst or frequent urination, get calcium checked immediately. Happy to review your reports over a Practo consult.

A short course of high-dose vitamin D taken exactly as your doctor prescribed is very unlikely to harm healthy kidneys, though very high doses over a long period can raise calcium levels.
Next Steps
Ask your prescribing doctor to confirm the total course length, and get your calcium and kidney function checked once you finish it.
Health Tips
Get checked urgently if you develop nausea, vomiting, excessive thirst, or reduced urination.
