Question

What protein (purine)-rich food should be limited to prevent a reoccurrence of uric acid kidney stones?

Answer 1

Answer:

Animal proteins such as egg, red meat, sea foods etc

Explanation:

Foods rich in animal proteins generally boost the level of uric acid in the body and make individuals to be more prone to uric acid kidney stones.

High protein level in the body as a result of high protein diets also increase the chances of uric kidney stones because this reduces the citrate level in the body. Citrate prevents the formation of stone by limiting the amount of uric acid in urine.

Hence, limiting the intake of animal protein-rich foods such as egg, red meat, etc., will prevent the reoccurrence of uric acid kidney stones.
