I see mild renal insuff. on my paperwork from my doctor. could a high protein diet cause this? she said maybe caused by dehydr. im concerned.

Hi protein diet: It is possible that a high protein diet can put extra stress on your kidneys. Too much protein is toxic to your kidneys. Most people never ever come close to having any problems in this regard. Ask your doctor what he or she thinks.
