The Claim
In healthy Japanese adults with normal kidney function, higher dietary protein intake normalized to ideal body weight is directly associated with increased single-nephron glomerular filtration rate (SNGFR), independent of body mass index, mean arterial pressure, albumin levels, or sodium intake, with a correlation coefficient of 0.42 (p=0.005).
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Eating more protein, adjusted for your ideal weight, is linked to better kidney filtering in healthy Japanese adults, even when other health factors are considered.

What the research says
1 studyStudy: Dietary Protein Intake and Single-Nephron Glomerular Filtration Rate
The study looked at the same thing as the claim—how protein intake relates to kidney function—and found that more protein does increase kidney filtration, just as the claim says.
