[QUOTE="eric p, post: 10115076, member: 104642"] Energy drinks and caffeine are most likely [B][U]only contributing[/U][/B] factors to kidney stones and kidney damage. Does anyone even know how a kidney works and what disease processes can affect them? Probably very few people here. Hereditary predispositions are most likely cause of kidney stones. There is a speculation that a diet that is rich in Diet sodas and milk CAN/MAY increase your CHANCES of kidney stones, but no more than chronic dehydration will.... MY bet is that anyone that has had kidney stones "because of energy drinks" has multiple strong predisposing factors, such as family history, poor fluid intake and a poor diet, that caused the stone. Kidney stones can be composed of MANY different chemical compounds. Kidney damage from energy drinks alone, probably not.... I only say "probably" because there are VERY FEW absolutes (not, never, none, etc) in the medical field. Most likely the only kidney damage is from becoming diabetic after all those sugary damn things. LOL. ( and yes, diabetes can cause kidney failure if not well maintained; along with a thousand other things). Ill bet that almost every vitamin in nearly every single energy drink on the market is "water soluble", meaning they get flushed out within hours of ingestion and are not given time to build up. Too much of one thing is never a good idea. Toxic levels of chemicals can build up and impair kidney function. If your concerned about your kidney function, have your doctor do a BUN and Creatinine (not creatine) blood level and check for protein in your urine; Other wise stay hydrated (hydration will not allow mineral deposits to accumulate, causing stones) and use in moderation. I could go on for days about kidney function, but I already have too many papers to write as it is. [/QUOTE]
