Weekend habits damaging kidneys: 6 doctor-flagged mistakes

Doctors say some weekend habits might hurt our kidneys.

Kidneys are like filters inside our body that clean our blood.

When we do not drink enough water, our body becomes dehydrated.

When that happens, our pee becomes darker and more concentrated.

That means there is less water and more waste in it.

This can cause tiny hard rocks called kidney stones to form.

Kidney stones are made of minerals like calcium and oxalate.

Our kidneys also need water to wash away germs and waste.

If your pee is dark yellow, if you do not go to the bathroom much, or if you feel dizzy, it might mean you need to drink more water.
