2017-09-21 11:17:53
Respected Sir, I,aged 24. I have a concern about consumption of whey protein powder. Actually i had a serious problem with my left kidney and had a surgery when i was 5. My left kidney is small in size and work almost 50% as compare to my right kidney. So, i googled about the intake of whey protein and got to the conclusion that it negatively affect kidney and its function. So,i want to know that does it really affect my kidney or i should consume that in limit? Please reply.

Usually we advise protein restriction in patients with Suboptimal function of kidneys .. so protein of animal origin is not advised .. coming to whey protein , u May take in limited quantities .. but u need to consult nephrologist so as to get ur kidneys checked and diet prescribed
