Can eating super spicy foods affect my kidney?

Depends: If you are a transplant kidney recipient and the spicy foods somehow affect the absorption or metabolism of your rejection medications then yes it is possible. If you are like most people though super spicy foods won't affect your kidneys unless you're allergic to the food.
