I assume you are referring to drinking alcohol. It is not advisable. The kidneys filter the fluids in your body to get rid of toxins, the result is urine. When you have a kidney infection the kidneys can not work as efficiently and effectively as normal so you should avoid making them work harder than necessary by not consuming toxins such as alcohol. Doing this could cause damage to the kidneys that may be irreversible. Damage to kidneys can lead to kidney failure, which is not a nice condition to have and can ultimately result in the need for a kidney transplant.

A kidney infection does not usually last too long and can be helped on its way by making sure you get your 1.5 Lts of plain water a day during the illness. A week of so of abstinence from alcohol during these times can save a lifetime of pain and illness in the future.

What happens if The immediate result of a blockage to one ureter would be to?

If one ureter is blocked, the immediate result would be the accumulation of urine in the corresponding kidney, leading to a condition called hydronephrosis. This can cause increased pressure within the kidney, potentially resulting in pain, infection, or damage to the kidney tissue. If the blockage is not resolved, it may eventually impair kidney function or lead to kidney failure.


Blockage of a ureter would cause to collect in which organ?

Blockage of a ureter would cause urine to collect in the kidney, leading to potential complications such as infection, swelling, and decreased kidney function. Prompt medical attention is required to address the blockage and prevent further damage.


What would happen to the intracellular and extracellular concentration of urea if the kidney stopped functioning?

If the kidney stopped functioning, the intracellular concentration of urea would increase due to impaired excretion. In contrast, the extracellular concentration of urea would also increase due to the diminished clearance of urea from the blood.


What would happen if we didn't have a kidney?

If we didn't have a kidney, our body would not be able to filter waste and excess fluid from the blood, leading to a buildup of toxins and fluids that can be life-threatening. Dialysis or a kidney transplant would be necessary to sustain life.
