Does soy protein increase the burden on the kidneys?

Abstract: The traditional concept believes that for kidney diseases, especially those with renal insufficiency, the diet should be based on animal protein, while plant protein (including soy protein) contains more non-essential amino acids, which will increase the burden on the kidneys. At the same time, soy products generally contain high phosphorus, which will aggravate hyperphosphatemia and affect the condition. Therefore, it is not recommended for patients with kidney disease to consume soy products.

Is this concept correct? Does eating soy protein really increase the burden on the kidneys?

Generally, plant protein such as grains is called incomplete protein due to the incomplete types of amino acids. Soy protein is the only plant-based complete protein, and its amino acid composition is similar to milk protein. Except for the slightly lower methionine, the remaining essential amino acids are rich in content.

In terms of nutritional value, soy protein can be equivalent to egg, milk, beef and other animal proteins, and is the closest to human amino acids in genetic structure, so it is the most nutritious plant protein.
