[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]High protein diet is hard on your kidneys. When your kidneys are stressed, you get swelling.[/quote] Kidney failure- lovely. I mean, who needs kidneys anyway??[/quote] Except that keto is not high protein. It's *adequate* protein. [/quote] Then all the more reason to see a doctor. If the swelling coincided with starting the diet, it’s probably related to the diet, but you want to be safe. Ask to have your eGFR (kidney function) calculated. You want that number to be over 90. Many PCPs still don’t pay much attention to kidney function testing— you need to push for it if it’s not included in your routine lab work.[/quote]
