Type 1 dia /kidney transplant(12yrs) i'm trying a 10 day green smoothie cleanse. it says to take a protein powder "raw protein" can i take this?

Kidney Transplant: hey congrats on 12 years post transplant. Not knowing your kidney status it is hard to say wether you should be taking high protein supplements. Wether it is "raw" or not matters little. I would consult your Nephrologist as they know your creative clearance which is the best measure of your ability to handle proteins,
