Summary: Rats fed an oxalate precursor developed renal oxalate stones. When the oxalate precursor was removed from the diet, the oxalate crystals resolved.
Key Takeaways
Oxalates are crystals found in plant foods such as spinach, potatoes, nuts, etc. that can deposit in tissues and cause pain or bind to calcium and produce kidney stones. When oxalate precursors were fed to rats they developed kidney stones, and then when they were no longer fed the oxalate precursors the stones went away.

Summary: This paper reviews the available evidence that increased dietary protein intake is a health concern in terms of the potential to initiate or promote renal disease. While protein restriction may be appropriate for treatment of existing kidney disease, we find no significant evidence for a detrimental effect of high protein intakes on kidney function in healthy persons after centuries of a high protein Western diet.
Key Takeaways
High protein diets have not been shown to have negative health effects in healthy people.

Human renal response to meat meal

Journal: American Journal of Physiology – Renal Physiology
Publication Date: 04/1986
Summary: The response of eating a meat meal on kidney function was measured in 10 healthy volunteers. Kidney function (GFR) and renal blood/plasma flow increased in most (8/10) subjects, although the amount increase was not statistically significant.
Key Takeaways
Eating a meat meal showed an increase in blood flow through the kidneys but it was not statistically significant.
