Excess protein such as the Adkins type diets, does cause the kidneys to work harder to flush out the extra nitrogen which is in protein and not carbs and fats. This can be dangerous for individuals who have kidneys that are already prone to stress- such as diabetics. So... there is truth to this claim. Also, this is the rationale on drinking lots of fluid if eating extra protein.... it's needed to flush out the nitrogen.

As for me...
I wasn't allowed much protein for years because it had a negative effect on my kidneys - but that was because I had an auto-immune disease called IgA Nephropathy which causes excess protein to be deposited in the kidneys destroying them. Now that my kidneys are gone and I'm on peritoneal dialysis, I have to eat a lot of protein. I'm not allowed much phosphorous or potassium, however.

Several recent studies looked at this question and found that in people with normal kidney function, a high-protein diet did not affect kidney function. These studies were published in The International Journal of Sports Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism, The Annals of Internal Medicine, and Nutrition and Metabolism.

but this is not a reason for a healthy, active person to
limit the protein intake below what that individual needs is it?
