I heard somewhere that excessive use of mangoes cause Nephritis
because the mangoes are extremely acidic and affect the kidneys.

Could there be any truth in this or is this folklore?

A web search turned up several references to mangoes being recommended as a
naturopathic *treatment* for nephritis.  Perhaps whoever you heard it from
