- chiefalchemist 5y agoFrankly, 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...

- aaaaaaaaaaab 5y agoAgain, you’ve linked to a page with general information on kidney failure. There’s no mention of drinking too much water causing kidney failure…
- chiefalchemist 5y agoLet'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.
