A member asked:

Could taking 1g - 1.5g of protein per pound of body weight cause liver or kidney damage?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Protein ingestion: The amount of protein intake in your question is not toxic to the your liver or kidneys, if they are not diseased. If they are, discuss your question with a physician who knows both your kidney and liver function for a meaningful answer to your question.
