People usually last around 3 days after the kidneys shutdown. An uncle of mine lasted for 5 [stroke]. My kidneys shutdown yesterday. I have been unable to eat any kind of food for the last 2 weeks, before the kidneys failed[liver cancer], and have only been able to drink water. I took DGL to reduce the GI pain. Once the kidneys stop working water will make you sick. I had a small 1 oz drink of water this morning, thinking it would be absorbed by the gut. I could tell that any more at that time would make me puke.
Not a pleasant way to go..... Besides the kidney pain, plain water will feel like poison.

Where most drugs are broken down?
Most drugs are broken down in the liver through a process called drug metabolism. This process involves enzymes in the liver converting the drug into metabolites that can be eliminated from the body. The metabolites are then excreted through the kidneys in the urine.
Do your kidneys function better when laying down?
This will depend on the person. For some people, kidneys do indeed function better laying down at night.
What does Ebola affect?
This virus first affects the immune system and then the liver and kidneys. Finally it shuts down the entire body.
What are elevated liver enzymes on dogs?
The liver is the organ that breaks down chemicals in the blood. It removes toxins, and also drugs from the body so they can be taken out of the body by the kidneys and the bladder (pee). If you have elevated liver enzymes this means that the way in which the liver is breaking down the toxins and drugs is working faster than normal.
Does alcohol have to be broken down by the digestive system?

Is it true the kidney break down poisons in the body?
No, almost all toxic chemicals (except toxic heavy metals) are processed in the liver. The resulting breakdown products usually get excreted via the kidneys, but the kidneys have nothing to do with breaking them down to nontoxic residues.
Which organs are involved with breaking down and eliminating drugs from the body?
The liver is primarily responsible for breaking down drugs through a process called metabolism, which involves converting drugs into forms that are easier for the body to eliminate. The kidneys play a key role in eliminating the broken-down drug molecules and their byproducts through urine.
Which organ filters wastes?
The correct answer is twofold. The liver filters some substances and metabolizes or breaks them down into byproducts. These byproducts or waste will then be filtered by the kidneys in varying degrees. Which means that not everything that passes through the kidneys comes out in the urine. A percentage of necessary things are needed by the body such as proteins, sodium, potassium and other elements which are essential to the running of the body.
How does the body releases toxins?
Toxins are primarily eliminated from the body through organs like the liver, kidneys, and intestines. The liver breaks down toxins and processes them for excretion, while the kidneys filter toxins from the blood to be expelled as urine. Sweating, breathing, and bowel movements also help in the elimination of toxins from the body.
