To determine which products are not good for our body, in this specific case for the kidneys, we must first understand their function.
What do the kidneys do?
The specific function of the kidneys is to filter your blood, so a healthy kidney is supposed to:
- Regulate blood pressure
- Balance minerals
- Remove excess fluids and acids from the blood
- Eliminate toxins, waste, and substances from the blood
At the same time, the kidney is responsible for keeping beneficial components in the blood such as protein. It should be noted that when the kidneys are damaged, they do not work or function this way, and albumin (a protein) leaks and instead of staying in the blood as it should, it passes into the urine. This condition is known as albuminuria or proteinuria.
Because of this, many doctors and specialists believe that excessive protein consumption can overload the kidneys and cause proteinuria and therefore damage kidney function.
How much protein should you consume?
It is recommended to consume between 1 to 1.5 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight. For example, take your weight, multiply it by 1 or 1.5, and the result will be the grams of protein you can consume daily; this is considered a moderate protein intake.
A healthy person without kidney problems at the start of protein consumption would have no chance of developing any, as long as protein intake is done properly.
Is consuming a lot of protein dangerous?
No, it is not. Studies show that even high protein levels should not be a problem if you have healthy kidneys. In fact, some people consume what can be considered high protein, such as athletes and bodybuilders or people following a carnivore diet, and they could even consume up to double the recommended protein amount.
