Drinking Tea after Alcohol
A lot of people assume that consuming tea can sober up. This actually hurts the kidneys. Theophylline in tea can affect the kidneys quickly. At this point, the alcohol hasn't been decomposed on time. Due to diuretic effect, the alcohol is discharged before it is being decomposed, causing the kidneys to be stimulated with large amount of ethanol and spoil its functions.
Drinking too little water
The amount of urine will decrease if one is without water for a long period. The concentration of the waste and toxins in the urine will increase. Kidney stones, hydronephrosis and others are closely related with drinking too little water. Sufficient drinking of water can dilute the urine and protect the kidneys as it can discharge waste and toxins thoroughly.

Patients will not only suffer from back pain, urinary urgency and other symptoms, it may develop into acute uremia.
