The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.
this one was 3.3 grams per kilogram that's pretty big that's a lot of protein right these other ones 2.4 grams per kilogram that's way more than one gram of protein per pound of body weight which is generally what i recommend people do on an animal-based diet
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.

Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
the basic high level stuff here is that eating a high protein diet one gram of protein per pound of body weight 2.2 grams of protein per kilogram as you'll see in a lot of studies that i'm going to show you on a meta-analysis has never been shown to affect kidney function which we often measure as something called gfr glomerular filtration rate
the meta-analyses concluded no effect on gfr glomerular filtration rate no effect on kidney function
Studies show that consuming protein at levels as high as 3.2 to 4.5 grams per kilogram of body weight per day, even for durations up to a year, does not negatively impact kidney function—even in populations at higher risk, such as those with obesity or diabetes.
moreover research and athletes has shown that consuming protein intakes as high as 3.2 to 4.5 Gams per kilogram of body weight per day for up to one year does not cause any adverse changes in kidney function and is considered safe this intake is four to six times higher than the RDA for protein and emerging research even suggests that higher protein intake may actually be beneficial for people with chronic kidney disease
