The increased kidney stone problem is a real risk. You can help minimize it by taking citrate ion supplementation, which is available in prescription slow-release, or cheap OTC regular tablets. My doctor recommended it when I started keto years ago, and so far so good. I would do it anyway, as I've had a kidney stone again, and holy hell I do not want to experience that twice if at all possible! Regarding cholesterol levels: make sure they get a full vertical profile, not just a calculated one. If their overall levels are higher, but it's from HDL, and the amount of LDL or VLDL is low, there is no associated increase in cardiac risk. FWIW.
