Best Answer

Electrolyte imbalance, which can cause the heart muscle to weaken and interfere with brain,nerve and kidney function, is the most serious health concern. The heart may become so weak that it stops beating, resulting in death. As well, the kidneys may fail, which would necessitate dialysis or transplant. The nerve damage may cause vision impairment or even blindness.

If vomiting, the stomach acids can cause ulcers in the esophagus/tissues in the mouth and erode the enamel on the teeth.

Laxative abuse can lead to dependence for bowel function and/or the atrophy of digestive organs, which can cause death.
