As pointed out by IIIIIIIIIIIIIII, antibodies are way too massive and are not excreted in any significant amount (again, I am talking of normal physiology, not someone with very advanced kidney disease).
To give you an idea of the weight difference, an average human IgG[1] antibody is about 500 more massive than a pretty average small molecule antibiotic like levofloxacin[2]
