Negative effects of protein!

Hi my lotters,
recently I've been doing some research on renal failure and discovered a few things. This is more of advice than a question, ok. The word renal means anything of or associated with the kidney, so basically renal failure is kidney failure. Anyway lets get to the point. there are many ways of getting renal failure and one of them is the consumption of high protein based foods. eg. fish, chicken meats, etc. when we consume to much protein, we put pressure on the kidney and causes failure etc. Also renal failure can lead to other forms of diseases such as chronic kidney diseas and more. Everyday the kidney produces about 200 quarts of blood to sift out about 2 quarts of waste products and extra water, the waste and extra water become urine which flows to the bladder through tubes called ureters, the bladder then stores the urine until releasing it through urination. With that being said, you can conclude that without a kidney, poisoning of the blood occurs with waste. you see, the kidney has to separate the protein and the waste and by consuming too much proteins, you give the kidney too much work leading to failure. Cholesterol, sodium and potassium intake also effects the kidney in failure.
for the record, i am not a doctor or any kind of specialist, I am a 14 year old kid who had to do research on kidneys for a project and decided to post the information gathered in my own words. If there are people who can correct my mistakes if there are any plzz do so and plzz comment on this

this is utter bs. no one knows for sure the right amount of protein to ingest or if their is a limit. i am also 14 years old and a serious weightlifter. over the last two years i on average ingest between 250-350 grams of protein daily and have yet to have any health problems.

Also, weight lifting (exercise) not only improves muscles but also organ functions, allowing you to be able to consume that large of an amount of proteins with a strong kidney. During weight lifing, large amounts of proteins is required to repair muscle tissue with the amino acids found in protein, this might explain your suggestion. There is not yet a limit to protein consumption but as said in a comment above too much of anything is not good for you, this post was to explain how too much protein is not healthy for you.
