Guest guest Posted March 20, 2004 Report Share Posted March 20, 2004 I always thought a hangover is actually withdrawal from alcohol. Not sure what happens exactly, but dialysis certainly does dehydrate you fast, on purpose (think of what it would feel like if you rapidly, over a period of 3 hours, lost 2 or 3 kgs worth of fluid!), and it takes out many things, including whatever alcohol puts in you. The nurses where I go know that phenomenon well. Another interesting thing I didn't know until I started dialysis is that hemodialysis is often used to quickly remove drugs and other things in the case of various drug overdose scenarios, even if the person doesn't have kidney failure.

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2004 Report Share Posted March 20, 2004 Wow, that is fascinating. Alcohol dehydrates you big time. I used to use 100% pure ethanol in my standards when I ran blood alcohol levels on serum samples in lab. It's problematic stuff to work with because if you don't cap it fast, it literally pulls the moisture out of the air and you end up with a greater volume of liquid than you started with! Hate to think what it does to water concentration in tissues if you indulge too much... Cy Re: Re:ALCOHOL > > > > Huh, now that one is interesting.

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 Actually Cy you were right. A hangover is largely due to the dehydration caused by alcohol as the alcohol blocks anti-diuretic hormone (ADH). This is also why you have to pee so much when you drink, as your body can't regulate its water content and lets too much water " go " . This also causes a loss of some vitamins (e.g. B12), and all that added with the metabolites from liver hydrolyzing the alcohol floating around your bloodstream can make for a rough " day after " !! Quick withdrawal from the alcohol during dialysis shouldn't cause a hangover, unless there is an alcoholism/dependency issue going on there.... - Cy Webb 03/20/2004 12:45 AM Please respond to iga-nephropathy To: iga-nephropathy cc: Subject: Re: Re:ALCOHOL Huh, now that one is interesting.
