protein diets (which is not always correct) then the risks proposed by critics of this type of dietary approach are essentially those of possible kidney damage due to high levels of nitrogen excretion during
protein metabolism, which can cause an increase in glomerular pressure and hyperfiltration.12 There is not wide agreement between studies; however, some infer the possibility of renal damage from
animal studies, 99, 100 whereas others, looking at both
animal models, meta - analyses and human studies, propose that even high levels of
protein in the diet do not damage renal function.101, 102 In subjects with intact renal function, higher dietary
protein levels caused some functional and morphological adaptations without negative effects.103 There may actually be renal - related effects, but on blood pressure
rather than morphological damage.
