Abstract in brief

  • Recurrent calcium oxalate stone formers tend to consume more animal protein than normal individuals, suggesting a link between animal protein intake and stone formation.
  • A high intake of animal protein increases urinary excretion of calcium oxalate and uric acid, both of which are risk factors for developing kidney stones.
  • Conversely, vegetarians, who consume less animal protein, tend to have lower levels of these urinary risk factors, indicating a potentially reduced risk of calcium stone formation with a vegetarian diet.]

@DrLucasGF @kamkalantar @JASN_News @sjoshimd @ConnieMRhee Ha! You sent me on a quest. Turns out I was remembering Diet for a New America which I read circa 1990. It's in chapter 7. Here are the relevant citations: W. Robertson, “Should Recurrent Calcium Oxalate Stone Formers Become Vegetarians?” British Journal of Urology 51 (1979): /3
