10 Causes of Kidney Disease

Alcohol Abuse

Alcohol can be filtered out of your body by the kidneys as a toxin. Thus, consuming too many alcoholic drinks like wine or beer would put more stress on these organs. Over time, it will reduce their capability of filtering and functioning. Moderation is advisable, with no more than 1 portion per day for women and 2 portions per day for men. Keep in mind to drink water when consuming alcohol to support your kidneys in filtering the blood. [2]
