Drinking More Coffee May Reduce Acute Kidney Injury Risk
-
Drinking two to three cups of coffee a day significantly reduces the risk of acute kidney injury, a prospective cohort study suggests. Participants who drank any quantity of coffee every day had an 11% lower risk of acute kidney injury than those who never drank coffee, report Kalie L. Tommerdahl, MD, of the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora, and colleagues, but the largest reductions were seen in the group that drank two to three cups a day.
