This reduced blood flow, in layman&#8217;s terms &#8211; can proper fuck the kidneys, right up.<\/p>\n<p>If dehydration is severe, then the kidneys start to fail to do their main job &#8211; filtering of the blood, also known as glomerular filtration. This is not good &#8211; toxins build up in the kidneys.<\/p>\n<p>There are several reasons why this happens &#8211; all pretty complicated though to be honest.<\/p>\n<p>Rather strangely &#8211; the body starts to produce <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/19158351\">fructose<\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;The fructose is metabolized to fructose-1-phosphate, but in the process there is marked intracellular ATP consumption, leading to intracellular phosphate depletion, activation of AMP deaminase, and the generation of uric acid, oxidative stress, and the production of chemokines&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/FullText\/381239#ref9\">Ref<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Chemokines are small protein molecules that are produced by the cells of the immune system.

This causes all kind of problems with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3311125\/\">inflammation.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The take home message is &#8211; your kidneys start doing weird shit, and can eventually completely shut down.<\/p>\n<h3>Low Blood Volume &amp; Shock<\/h3>\n<p>The reduced blood volume can also result in a condition called -Hypovolemic shock. This is also pretty nasty and can result in damage to major organs including the brain.<\/p>\n<p>The reduced volume of water in the brain, is also going to be a bit of a shitter on fight night when your opponent is trying to knock your heed off.<\/p>\n<p>Issues with electrolytes can also be present with weight cutting &#8211; resulting in seizures, blood clots and even coma.<\/p>\n<p>In summary &#8211; don&#8217;t cut too much weight, it&#8217;s dangerous&#8230;be like Mark Hunt, he&#8217;s fat &amp; awesome:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blackbeltwhitehat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/markhuntko.gif?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"4008\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blackbeltwhitehat.com\/en\/2016\/03\/19\/ufc-brisbane-frank-mir-vs-mark-hunt\/markhuntko\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blackbeltwhitehat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/markhuntko.gif?fit=320%2C240&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"320,240\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"markhuntko\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blackbeltwhitehat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/markhuntko.gif?fit=320%2C240&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4008\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blackbeltwhitehat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/markhuntko.gif?resize=320%2C240&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"320\" height=\"240\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So, Big Yoel fails to make weight again for a title fight.
