Drinking three or more cups of coffee per day increases the risk of kidney damage, study finds. While some research has linked coffee consumption to kidney damage, other research has reported no association between caffeine consumption and the development of chronic kidney disease.
A new study from researchers at the University of Toronto, Canada, and Padova, Italy, may provide an explanation for the different conclusions. Researchers also say that coffee can definitely harm the kidneys in some people.
A new study has found that the presence of a particular gene variant makes coffee drinkers three times more likely to cause kidney damage. In the study, about half of the participants had the rs762551 variant of the CYP1A2 gene. This causes caffeine to be metabolized more slowly. This group was found to have a higher risk of kidney failure. People who drink three or more cups of coffee daily are 2.7 times more likely to develop kidney failure.
Caffeine is a substance found in coffee. It can also be found in other beverages such as tea, cola, and energy drinks. Coffee contains many substances. They can have a variety of effects on the body, both good and bad, says Dr. Sarah Mahdavi said.
Studies show that excessive consumption of coffee can lead to cardiovascular problems. Continuous coffee consumption over a long period of time can significantly increase the risk of cardiovascular disease in people and thus lead to serious cardiovascular diseases.
