Eating a lot of protein doesn't hurt your kidneys, and this is shown by normal test results for kidney health.

Eating lots of protein makes your kidneys work harder in healthy people, but it probably doesn't harm them if your kidneys are already healthy. However, if you have kidney problems, high protein might make them worse.

Eating a lot of protein every day — even more than 200 grams — won’t hurt your kidneys if they’re already healthy.

Eating a lot of protein might make your kidneys work too hard, based on a big study of over 9,000 adults.

Eating too much protein might make kidney problems worse in people who already have kidney issues or are at risk for them, by putting extra strain on the kidneys and causing more damage over time.

Eating more protein is linked to how well your kidneys filter blood, even when considering other health factors like weight and blood pressure.
