The topic raised by Dr. Siramid Mazgher suggests that the consumption of energy drinks may negatively affect kidney health and even lead to serious damage, which can be difficult to treat. A physician based in London has drawn attention to the potential health risks associated with the consumption of such drinks.
One of the negative consequences of consuming energy drinks is the possible increase in blood sugar levels, which is especially dangerous for individuals prone to diabetes, as it creates additional strain on the kidneys. Additionally, some additives, such as taurine and guarana, can cause reduced kidney function and increased heart rate, thereby raising blood pressure on the kidneys.
An article in Medical Case Reports describes the case of a 62-year-old American woman who developed acute kidney and liver damage due to excessive consumption of energy drinks. According to the discussed research, her health improved after she ceased the consumption of these drinks and began treatment.
Experts highlight the issues caused by energy drinks: high blood pressure, dehydration from caffeinated diuretic action, as well as serious illnesses, such as acute kidney injury and acute hepatitis, which the FDA has reported.
A general practitioner states that moderate consumption of energy drinks does not pose a serious risk, but abuse can lead to severe health problems.
