MFS answered Wednesday October 20 2004, 3:33 pm: One shot shouldn't kill your kidneys. If anything, it would wear on your liver more first - then go after your kidneys. If you're feeling pressure on your bladder, but nothing is happening, I would guess urinary tract infection, as this is a common symptom of it. Certain sexually transmitted diseases can cause that symptom, too, however. Either way, a course of antibiotics is likely in your future to treat that, which requires a trip to the doctor's office.<br>
<br>
If you had shut-down kidney function, you'd likely be dead by now, or at least hurting really badly with swelling and pain all over your body. And that would require total kidney failure - and people can live fine with only one kidney. Our kidneys and livers are inherently over-sized to handle all the potential abuse they take over the course of our lives.<br>
<br>
If you're allowed to drink caffinated beverages, you might think about having a pop, then follow it up with several glasses of water - caffeine is a diuretic, which WILL make you pee more, and the water is there to flush out your system. At worse, it'll cause irritation in your bladder, which would confirm some sort of bladder/urinary tract infection.<br>
<br>
No matter what, see a doctor. Don't risk your health. As stereotypical and/or dumb as it may sound, don't ruin your health at a young age and have to pay for those mistakes for the next 70+ years. [ MFS's advice column | Ask MFS A Question ]
