How does anorexia change the structure of the body and how does it lead to kidney failure?

I don't know about the structural bit (apart from getting skinny!) but the kidney failiure is due to the fact that the body needs 1200 calories per day to function properly (you then add on the 800 for excercise, however mild)! Each part of your body needs a certain amount of calories, even just so you can breathe, and when you arent eating enough, the first organ to be affected is the kidney. Hope this helps xx
