Kidneys don't get damaged due to fasting .. but u have to drink enough water .. ideally kidneys are organs that filters 200 litres of blood every day and reabsorbs 198.5 litres back inside making the remaining 1.5 litres as urine .. u might get dehydrated if u don't drink enough water but ur body conserves enough water otherwise u will get the thirst which urges u to drink water ... cheers :)

Inadequate water , leads to dehydration which results in poor blood supply, reduced urine output, inadequate disposal of wastes,
If this all goes on over long time yes kidney damage will result
However common causes of kidney damage are hypertension and diabetes
