Swapping a steak for chicken or fish will not lower your kidney stone risk. When it comes to stones, meat is meat. Your kidneys treat turkey, pork, and seafood the exact same way. Eating too much of any animal protein can lower your urine citrate. It can also make your urine too acidic, dropping the pH below 5.8. That gives calcium oxalate and uric acid stones the perfect place to grow.
We break down why high-meat diets like keto often lead right to kidney stones. You do not have to quit eating meat completely. You just need to watch the amount you eat every day. We explain why a 24-hour urine test is so important to find the real problem. You will also learn how to get safe protein from dairy, peas, and lentils without raising your stone risk.
