Is Taking Ecstasy Dangerous If You Have Only One Kidney?
Is taking ecstasy tablets particularly dangerous if you only have one kidney ? And if so why? Would also like to know the effects of cocaine on the kidneys/ when cocaine and ecstasy are mixed ? Many thanks , even half on an ecstasy tablet on its own , would this be particularly damaging on me as I have one kidney as opposed to a normal person ?

Hi,
Yes, it is dangerous to take ecstasy if you have a single kidney. The drug is expelled from the body through kidneys. As you have a single kidney, the function of 2 kidneys is to be done by a single kidney. The products released from ecstasy damage your kidney tissue in addition to affecting several organs. It's dangerous to take both cocaine and ecstasy together. It will lead to sudden death even of you have both kidneys.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
