Protein is essential for building and repairing body tissues, but consuming more protein than your body needs can put extra strain on the kidneys. For individuals with kidney disease, a low-protein diet may be recommended to help decrease the workload on the kidneys. High-quality protein sources, such as eggs, poultry, fish, and soy, should be prioritized, and intake should be adjusted according to the individual's kidney function and nutritional needs. Consulting with a dietitian can help determine the right amount of protein to support health without overburdening the kidneys.
