Will drinking of more water destroy nephrons and lead to kidney problems?
No. Drinking a couple of litres of water a day (about eight cups) is highly recommended, except for a very few medical conditions. Many kidney problems are alleviated by drinking a sufficient volume of fluid to flush the kidneys properly (e.g., medullary sponge kidney, kidney stones). Water is recommended, since it contains no fats or sugars and will not promote weight gain.
