Dukan diet dangerous to your kidneys

Since some time ago I have been preaching the dangers of high protein diets. Today the Dukan diet is one of the most popular and a good example of "imbalanced diet."
A few days ago researchers at the University of Granada have given me the reason, showing through an experiment with rats that protein diets increase the risk of developing long-term renal diseases and worsen urinary and kidney morphological markers.

Why protein diets such as the Dukan diet is so successful?

For one thing, how fast weight loss is achieved. But nothing is free in this life. While you lose weight quickly, the lack of carbohydrates in the diet, abuse of animal proteins ends overloading both the liver and kidneys.

What diseases can cause the protein diet?

The Dukan diet and others of the same style, can cause diseases such as nephrolithiasis (stones or kidney stones). The excess protein and metabolic waste decrease the pH of the urine, and body to compensate for the metabolic acidosis, what it does is increase urinary calcium. Consequently, there is a much higher that stone formation, by excessive risk minerals in the urine.

Who should avoid this type of diet?

Such diets I can not recommend them to anyone, but seen the results of the study, let alone people who are prone to stone, or a family history of nephrolithiasis.
I suggest that if you are thinking of starting a diet of this style, before you turn to your doctor and you do a blood test and a checkup and then in the course of the diet you go making you periodic review and analysis. This way you wore at all times minimize risk control.
