Hi,

Yes, there are possibilities of liver or renal damage due to consumption. It also could be ulcers formation along the GI tract.

The situation is assessed with liver function tests and renal function tests. These patients may also develop metabolic acidosis and myoglobinuria.

Please consult your doctor he will investigate and treat him/her accordingly.
