The Claim
High protein intake is associated with a 3.35-fold increased odds of rapid decline in renal function specifically in individuals with renal hyperfiltration, but not in those without renal hyperfiltration, as observed in a community-based prospective cohort study.
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 a lot of protein might make kidney function get worse faster in people whose kidneys are already working too hard, but it doesn't seem to affect people with normal kidney function.
See the scientific wording
High protein intake is associated with rapid decline in renal function specifically in individuals with renal hyperfiltration (3.35-fold increased odds), but not in those without renal hyperfiltration, based on a community-based prospective cohort study.
What the research says
1 studyThe study found that eating a lot of protein makes kidney function get worse faster only in people whose kidneys are already working too hard, which matches exactly what the claim says.
