Getting a kidney infection can make you more likely to develop a kidney stone. That's why you should try to avoid developing an infection as much as you can. Kidney stones can be common in those who eat a lot of red meat. Now, we aren't suggesting that you must become a vegetarian. However, you should try to aim for less than 65 grams (or less) of animal protein each day. Vegetarians do tend to be healthier, live longer, and develop fewer severe illnesses. Also, the animals appreciate it too. You should also watch your intake of phosphorous. Phosphorous can also cause problems for your kidney. Phosphorous is found in animal products, dairy, and beans. So, if you have a kidney infection, you should try to reduce the amount of phosphorous in your diet.
