If one were to avoid everything that is supposedly risky, one would have to lead a very sheltered existence. Some say that alcohol can damage the kidneys. The fact that it is said to also damage the liver might lead one to assume that anything alcoholic is very bad to all of the major organs of the body. The one fact that most should keep in mind is that the kidneys are used to strain the body's liquids. The liquid being purified by the organ is excreted as urine. What is left are debris that can form stones. Although the calcified deposits are not thought to cause failure, distilling beverages or drugs can damage them by destroying the healthy blood cells that must remain so it can function normally. Some other risks besides excess beer or liquor can be medications. One's age doesn't seem to matter although failure, where it stops working and flushing out toxins and waste, usually occurs those over the middle part of life.
Take action and by following some basic rules like drinking 8 glasses of water a day along with the rest of the other liquids consumed. The fact is that some people assume that drinking coffee or drinks constitutes part of their necessary h20 intake each day. That is not the case and many find themselves facing medical issues. When that happens, bad stuff is inevitable unless the patient gets dialysis treatment. Take the advice from a doctor or physician if they recommend electrolytes or other things. Eat a healthy diet to help keep diabetes type 2 from developing. Stay away from specifics above as much as possible. The fact that some people get a transplant does not override the fact that until the transplant is available dialysis or straining the body's liquids must be done by machine to replace the natural processes has failed to work.
