Dpes taking protein suppliment lead to kidney problem?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
For healthy persons: There really is limited data to suggest high protein diets create any significant issue beyond a possible slight increase in kidney stones. In those with underlying moderate to severe kidney dysfunction, a high protein diet can worsen kidney function.
