Kidneys:
Alcohol's caustic effects can also be found in the kidneys. Inflammation of
the kidney is known as nephritis. The many organ system changes that occur
because of alcohol take toll on the kidneys, which cannot function optimally.
This failure leads to retention of body fluids. Symptoms include swelling of
body tissues, such as feet, legs, hands, and face. Kidney failure is inevitable
with end-stage liver disease.
Bladder:
Irritation from alcohol can cause cystitis (inflammation of the bladder) and
prostatitis (inflammation of the prostate). People who suffer from cystitis may
also have urinary tract infections.
