pretty much every response on this article has talked about the health problems from drinking too much water, but if you don't want to read up on any of that, maybe the Mayo Clinic will help. hopefully that's enough "citation" other than what The whole article and all of the responses are about. I googled it for you: https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/in-depth/water/art-20044256 https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-h...

No Jerry, I was asking for citations about kidney failure caused by excess water consumption. Hyponatremia is not kidney failure.

  Frankly, I live under the understanding that it's semi common knowledge / sense. The body is finite. It has limits. Exceeding those limits and undesirable things happen. https://www.freseniuskidneycare.com/thrive-central/hypervolemia https://www.freseniuskidneycare.com/thrive-central/hypervole... https://www.renalandurologynews.com/home/news/too-much-water-could-be-harmful/ https://www.renalandurologynews.com/home/news/too-much-water...

        Again, you’ve linked to a page with general information on kidney failure. There’s no mention of drinking too much water causing kidney failure…

        Let's start here: "Kidney failure means your kidneys no longer work well enough to do these jobs and, as a result, other health problems develop..." That is, if you overwhelm your kidneys they will fail. This issue here isn't the links, it's an inability to interpret the clinical facts and apply them to real life.
