Eating a lot of red meat increases the risk of kidney failure

Red meat is a food source with high protein content, so eating too much can lead to many diseases, including kidney diseases.

Consuming large amounts of protein in red meat while eating less fruits and vegetables will increase endogenous acid levels.

Protein in red meat, after being ingested into the body, will be decomposed and release urea into the blood.

Consuming large amounts of protein in red meat also causes an imbalance in the intestinal microflora, creating a lot of ammonia and sulfur compounds with pro-inflammatory properties, causing impaired kidney function.

Red meat also contains a lot of purine, which when in the body is converted into uric acid.

Eating a lot of red meat can impair kidney function or cause kidney disease to progress.

Research by a group of scientists at California Medical University, Korea and New York on the effects of a high-protein diet on kidney health and longevity published in the American Library of Medicine shows that the diet

Dr. Hien said, some cases of short-term increase in glomerular filtration rate do not cause deterioration of kidney function, such as occurring in pregnant women.

Research published in the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology in 2016 shows that the risk of kidney failure depends on the amount of red meat each person consumes.

To ensure health and kidney function, Dr. Hien advises people not to eat more than 750 grams of red meat/week.

Kidney failure is a late stage of uncontrolled chronic kidney disease.
