i did a search and it says nothing about too much sex.
Kidney Failure Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Treatment MedicineNet.com
Kidney failure can occur from an acute situation or from chronic problems.
In acute renal failure, kidney function is lost rapidly and can occur from a variety of insults to the body. The list of causes is often categorized based on where the injury has occurred.
Prerenal causes (pre=before + renal=kidney) causes are due to decreased blood supply to the kidney. Examples of prerenal causes are:
* Hypovolemia (low blood volume) due to blood loss
* Dehydration from loss of body fluid (vomiting, diarrhea, sweating, fever )
* Poor intake of fluids
* Medication, for example, diuretics ("water pills") may cause excessive water loss.
* Loss of blood supply to the kidney due to obstruction of the renal artery or vein.
Renal causes (damage directly to the kidney itself) include:
* Sepsis: The body's immune system is overwhelmed from infection and causes inflammation and shutdown of the kidneys. This usually does not occur with urinary tract infections.
* Medications: Some medications are toxic to the kidney, including nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen and naproxen. Others are antibiotics like aminoglycosides [gentamicin (Garamycin), tobramycin], lithium (Eskalith, Lithobid), iodine-containing medications such as those injected for radiology dye studies.
* Rhabdomyolysis: This is a situation in which there is significant muscle breakdown in the body, and the degeneration products of muscle fibers clog the filtering system of the kidneys. Often occurring because of trauma and crush injuries, it can also be caused by some medications used to treat high cholesterol.
* Multiple Myeloma
* Acute glomerulonephritis or inflammation of the glomeruli, the filtering system of the kidneys. Many diseases can cause this inflammation including systemic lupus erythematosus, Wegener's granulomatosis, and Goodpasture syndrome.
Post renal causes (post=after + renal= kidney) are due to factors that affect outflow of the urine:
* Obstruction of the bladder or the ureters can cause back pressure when there is no place for the urine to go as the kidneys continue to work. When the pressure increases enough, the kidneys shut down.
* Prostatic hypertrophy or prostate cancer may block the urethra and prevents the bladder from emptying.
* Tumors in the abdomen that surround and obstruct the ureters.
* Kidney stones
Chronic renal failure develops over months and years. The most common causes of chronic renal failure are related to:
* Poorly controlled diabetes
* Poorly controlled high blood pressure
* Chronic glomerulonephritis
Less common causes:
* Polycystic Kidney Disease
* Reflux nephropathy
* Kidney stones
* Prostate disease
and this is the closest to your question.
Sex and Prostate Health
In Chinese medicine, the heart is supported directly by the kidney or "Kidney Power" (your adrenal glands).
When you have too much sex, you exhaust your Kidney Power (in Western terms, you fatigue your adrenal glands). When your adrenals are chronically low (low Kidney Power), your heart loses strength. If Kidney power is always low, your heart weakens.
The weaker your heart gets, the harder it is for it to perform it's function of pumping blood throughout the many miles of blood vessels in your body.
When your heart becomes too tired or weak, you get a heart attack. (Not all heart attacks are caused by clots and cholesterol deposits!)
