Protein toxicity is the effect of the buildup of protein metabolic waste compounds, like urea, uric acid, ammonia, and creatinine.Protein toxicity has many causes, including urea cycle disorders, genetic mutations, excessive protein intake, and insufficient kidney function, such as chronic kidney disease and acute kidney injury.
Fans of protein drinks like Muscle Milk and EAS Myoplex may want to put down their glasses. Consumer Reports found that many of these popular beverages contained low to moderate levels of heavy ...
High dietary protein intake is not associated with kidney disease in healthy people. [322] While significantly increased protein intake in the short-term is associated with changes in renal function, there is no evidence to suggest this effect persists in the long-term and results in kidney damage or disease.

A 3% increase in protein in a 2,000-calorie diet — typical for middle-aged women — is 60 calories or half an ounce of protein, Ardisson Korat said. This amount of protein could be found in one ...
Urine amino acids [1] Share of amino acid in various human diets and the resulting mix of amino acids in human blood serum. Glutamate and glutamine are the most frequent in food at over 10%, while alanine, glutamine, and glycine are the most common in blood. Complications: Severe protein loss in the blood: Risk factors
[1] [21] Normal increases in calcium uptake occur with increased protein in the range 0.8 grams to 1.5 grams of protein per kilogram body weight per day. However, calcium uptake from the gut does not compensate for calcium loss in the urine at protein consumption of 2 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight.
The protein in human milk is approximately 60% whey and 40% casein. [11] The protein fraction in whey constitutes approximately 10% of the total dry solids in whey. This protein is typically a mixture of beta-lactoglobulin (~65%), alpha-lactalbumin (~25%), bovine serum albumin (~8%) (see also serum albumin), and immunoglobulins. [12]
A high-protein diet is a diet in which 20% or more of the total daily calories come from protein. [1] Many high protein diets are high in saturated fat and restrict intake of carbohydrates. [1] Example foods in a high-protein diet include lean beef, chicken or poultry, pork, salmon and tuna, eggs, and soy. [2]
