Drinking alcohol dangerous with one kidney?

Answer 1

Yes!!! To much drinking can cause liver and kidney problems! Trust me! I know! My brother's kidneys shut down. One percent they would come back. No joke! See who is important around you & believe me it's not the drink...........

Answer 2

Alcohol puts stress on the kidneys in three ways: it is a diuretic, which can cause dehydration and possible kidney problems, including stones, and it affects the function of the liver, which also puts systems "downstream" at stress. Finally, alcohol is literally a poison, affecting every cell in the body. When one only has one organ and is looking at a (possible) transplant or dialysis if it fails, drinking seems a poor option.

Answer 3

Drinking alcohol is damaging your kidneys by being an unknown chemical entering your body. Because alcohol tempers with the brain's functions, it causes organs to go haywire and malfunction. As your kidneys malfunction, it causes them to either work to the edge or even over their limit and can even shut down. As they restart all the bad chemicals (including the alcohol) show up at once and cause your kidneys to over work therefore damaging the tissue and finally as one would say killing them.

Answer 4

Drinking alcohol actually has a negative effect on the emergence of kidney cancer. Moderate alcohol consumption has been shown through countless studies that it can reduce the chances of getting kidney cancer. One prominent study was in Sweden where 55,000 women who drank moderately were shown to have a reduced number of kidney cancer patients than the normal population.
