The kidneys are also involved in intermediary metabolic processes in the synthesis of hormones, endocrine function they perform, are daily through the kidneys large volumes of blood, kidney and influence on the heart. Therefore their defeat alcohol is expensive man.

The role of the kidneys in the body is very important. They serve as a filter and excrete most of the waste products of vital functions, and is the principal organ of the urinary system.

Furthermore, there is undermining of the entire urinary system, there is the risk of kidney stones and cancers, which can only be removed by surgery, and in many cases tumors are diagnosed at the stage where their removal is not possible, which inevitably leads to kidney loss or death.
