A member asked:
What effects does a low protein diet have on urine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mind Your Garden!: It contains less of nitrogenous waste in the form of urea.Urea contains the nitrogen & is very soluble in the blood and so is carried to the kidneys for removal. Of course a really low protein diet that causes malnutrition can affect the kidney & then the urea builds up in the blood.Urea is used in many fertilizers as a source of nitrogen for plants, so, if you have a garden, you know what to do!!
