Did you read the article? The research states that based on their findings the astronauts would need dialysis on the way back. How would mars gravity help with that if the damage is already done to the kidney when you get there?

This. I don't know how anyone tied gravity to the kidney problem. This is a radiation poisoning problem. And this is just the damage done while inside Earth's magnetosphere. In open space between Earth and Mars, and on the surface of Mars, which has no magnetosphere, the damage would be much, much worse.
