The effect on the nephron, urine and hormone levels of drinking water, salt water and beer can lead to dehydration. The kidney filters blood to remove waste and excess salt. The effect of beer causes the nephron to remove more water while increasing urination. This means that the fluid in the body result in sodium that is too high and excessive amounts of fluid produce a sodium concentration that is too low, leading to hyponatremia. The effect of beer causes the nephron to excrete more water while increasing urination. Humans lack an axillary gland therefore our bodies do not have the ability to get rid of excess salt. We need fresh water in order to produce enough urine to wash the excess salt from the body. Beer contains dissolved substances.
