I was going through some medical webpages about illicit drugs and kidney diseases. So, in some websites it was mentioned LSD can cause kidney diseases. Is it correct? Does anyone here knows people who got kidney issues due to LSD?

In some very unlucky folks LSD can cause rhabdomyolysis (which damages the kidneys). I guess that is why they list it. Im not aware of any other mechanism by which LSD damages the kidneys but i might be wrong of course.

Never heard anything like that. It must have been one of the websites that connect every symptom of every disease to cancer. Kidneys and lungs are responsible for maintaining the acid-base balance( Acis-Base Homeostasis) in body. I guess Someone googled LSD, found out that "Lysergic Acid Diethylamide" contains word "Acid" and thought that it causes the acid-base balance disorder which leads to kidney damage.   I doubt there are any correlations between these two.

There is some amount of positive correlation between the quality of the question as you pose it and quality of the answers that you can expect from it. It would help greatly to make sense if you added explicit references to the webpages that state these claims. So far, you have succeeded in eliciting moderate to wild speculation by medically unqualified lay persons.

Where did you find this information? EDIT: further research turns up this (another pdf) which suggests that LSD is occasionally linked to "indirect muscle damage". Rhabdomyolysis After LSD Ingestion.Rhabdomyolysis After LSD Ingestion.Seems it's an exceedingly rare phenomenon. “There is a way of manipulating matter and energy so as to produce what modern scientists call 'a field of force'. The field acts on the observer and puts him in a privileged position vis-à-vis the universe. From this position he has access to the realities which are ordinarily hidden from us by time and space, matter and energy. This is what we call the Great Work." ― Jacques Bergier, quoting Fulcanelli

A feature of massive LSD overdose is hyper-pyrexia which may contribute to rhabdomyolysis, which can have the effect of causing acute kidney injury.Of course, humans being what they are with non-uniform genetics, it's impossible to say that LSD may not cause renal issues at lower doses but the history of use of this compound and the very infrequent observation of the incidence of such problems makes it quite exceptional, assuming it has been used in isolation. I am paranoid of my brain. It thinks all the time, even when I'm asleep. My thoughts assail me. Murderous lechers they are. Thought is the assassin of thought. Like a man stabbing himself with one hand while the other hand tries to stop the blade. Like an explosion that destroys the detonator. I am paranoid of my brain. It makes me unsettled and ill at ease. Makes me chase my tail, freezes my eyes and shuts me down. Watches me. Eats my head. It destroys me.

Would taking a cool shower help reduce the risk for rhabdomyolysis while on LSD ? Are there other precautions one can take ?

I think if someone took enough LSD that this is an issue, the concepts of "cool" and "shower" would be completely meaningless. We're talking thousands or tens of thousands of hits. The precautions to take in this instance are that if you find yourself in an LSD manufacturing facility or in association with a distributor, don't drink from the bottle that should be labeled (100M LSD).
