I'm sure any doctors around here can provide more details, but in my dim recollection, I seem to recall that the very tall in general tend to suffer from unusual medical conditions, or normal medical conditions that are extraordinarily exacerbated by the height of the victims. Basically, evolution didn't design the human body to be that tall, so problems result.
It wouldn't surprise me to find that kidney issues are one such problem.
