The Claim
Long-term consumption of high-protein diets, including those exceeding 200 grams of protein per day, does not impair kidney function in individuals without pre-existing renal disease, as indicated by stable serum creatinine levels and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR).
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 every day — even more than 200 grams — won’t hurt your kidneys if they’re already healthy.
See the scientific wording
Long-term high-protein diets, including those exceeding 200 grams per day, do not impair kidney function in individuals with no pre-existing renal disease, as evidenced by normal creatinine and eGFR levels.
What the research says
2 studiesThe study looked at a high-protein diet for weight loss and found it didn’t hurt kidney function in most people, which matches the claim.
