To much water can lead to kidney failure

I was reading the paper this morning and there was an article in the health section saying that drinking large volumes of water may cause loss of kidney function and that ppl had more protien in their urine and when they cut back on drinking water it was reversed.

I have never heard of water causing kidney failure. Large volumes can dilute your blood, which can be fatal.

Logans correct. It will dilute your lytes and you will get the same symptoms of dehydration. Then youll drink more water and it can be fatal. Google -hyponatremia.
