One of the most important reasons for kidney stone formation is faulty nutrition. In this video, I will talk about faulty diet practices that can cause kidney stone formation. One of the diets frequently used to lose weight is to eat a diet rich in animal protein and low in carbohydrates. In some practices, such as the ketogenic diet, 90-95% of daily calories come from proteins and fats, but 5-10% come from carbohydrates. When the body cannot find glucose, it starts using fats. When fats run out, proteins are used as an energy source. Carbohydrates hold 3 times their weight in water. When carbohydrates are cut, the body cannot retain water and weight loss occurs as a result of water loss. This situation is positive for those with edema. However, over time, the body begins to use muscles as an energy source and muscle loss occurs. Muscle loss is associated with the risk of death due to cardiovascular diseases. High amounts of protein and fat can lead to increased blood triglyceride, LDL-cholesterol, total cholesterol, uric acid, potassium, phosphorus, sodium, urea, creatinine and urine protein levels, which can lead to cardiovascular and kidney disease. When proteins are consumed in excess, they are converted into fat by the body and stored as fat. Such a diet is not suitable for kidney patients, those with uric acid stones, calcium oxalate stones and those at risk of stones.
Protein-rich nutrition increases acidosis, increased phosphorus and potassium, metabolic bone diseases and accelerates the deterioration of the kidneys. It increases the production of uric acid, increases the excretion of uric acid, calcium and oxalate in the urine, and reduces citrate, which prevents the formation of kidney stones. Urine becomes acidic. The risk of uric acid stones and calcium oxalate stones increases. Consuming more than 2 grams of animal protein per kilogram of body weight per day may increase the risk of kidney stones. While trying to lose weight, it may happen to your kidneys and cause kidney stones. Weight loss diets should be done with professional support, not by reading about them on social media. @doc.dr.omertoprak
