Hi,
I understand your concern.
Since your son has a condition which puts his kidneys at risk of damage,hence in view of presence of albumin in urine it will be advisable to avoid excess proteins in the diet.
Vegetarian source of protein is thought to be better than nonveg protein.
Therefore,you can safely change over to veg diet.
