Alcohol, in several ways, can contribute to kidney problems. Alcoholic drinks contain toxins that the kidneys need to filter from the body to ensure a healthy blood-fluid balance. When excess alcohol is consumed (more than four drinks per day), the kidneys get overworked and drastically affect their function. It even worsens if the alcohol abuse had caused liver disease, leaving all the body filtration function to the kidneys.

Alcohol also induces frequent urination, affecting the kidneys’ ability to maintain the right water and electrolyte balance. If these substances are not quickly replaced, they can lead to dehydration and expose you to the risk of developing kidney stones.

Also, excess alcohol consumption can lead to high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes, ultimately causing kidney disease.

  • I do love the manner in which you have framed this specific difficulty plus it does present us some fodder for thought. Nonetheless, through what I have personally seen, I basically trust when the actual comments pack on that folks remain on point and in no way start upon a soap box associated with some other news of the day. Anyway, thank you for this exceptional point and although I can not concur with it in totality, I value the viewpoint.
