[Partha Banerjee Dubai] Is It Safe To Consume Alcohol For Your Kidney's Health?
by Partha Banerjee Partha Banerjee DubaiIn Indian Society, alcohol is not seen as a
favorable drink in comparison to western countries. Alcohol, in general, has no
medically proven positive effect on the body, if taken in moderation. But it
does affect the working of kidneys because as soon as it is ingested, urine is
passed out within a few minutes. This leads to a decrease in fluids retained by
the Kidneys disturbing the fluid balance.
It has been researched that moderate consumption of
alcohol does not affect kidneys and their functioning. Partha Banerjee Mumbai says, having it regularly causes damage to
health in many ways. It may lead to change in the shape and form of the kidneys
as well as electrolytes gets imbalanced too. Extreme use may lead to high blood
pressure. This, in turn, results in stretching and weakening of blood vessels.
The waste that is filtered in the kidney is done by these blood vessels and
their deformed structure does not help in this process.
Instead, in case of high pressure, the urine will
pass inwards rather than downwards harming the other organs of the body. If the
medication is administered to regulate the blood pressure, its working will be
inhibited by the alcohol in the bloodstream. According to Partha Banerjee Dubai high levels of alcohol intake every day
influences the following important minerals in the body:
a) Sodium: The excessive
fluids or dehydration in the kidneys lead to a low or high level of Sodium in
the body which is harmful in both the cases. The level of this mineral is
further determined due to liver dysfunction caused by excess alcoholism.
b) Potassium: The level of
Potassium decreases due to excess of alcohol. This leads to an increase in
reabsorption of fluids which leads to a decrease in Potassium level.
c) Phosphate: It gets
released with urine resulting in Phosphate deficiency. Frequent urination is
the next stage of this condition and hyperventilation, low acidity and intense
breakdown of glucose.
d) Magnesium: This mineral is released
with urine and generally gets affected with the phosphate.
e) Calcium: The level of
Calcium decreases due to intake of excessive liquor. Partha Banerjee Dubai says that this situation causes muscle
breakdown in severe cases where liver dysfunction has already taken place.
Therefore, alcohol consumption in extreme amount
affects the functions of the kidneys in fluid retention, acid-base balance, and
the working of electrolytes. It also causes disturbances in the levels of
necessary minerals leading to malnutrition. Partha Banerjee Mumbai adds, regular drinking leads to dire
consequences, starting with liver failure and malfunctioning of kidneys. So it
is advised to stay away from alcohol or restrict its consumption for better
health and well-being.
