Conclusions: High protein intake was not associated with renal function decline in women with normal renal function. However, high total protein intake, particularly high intake of nondairy animal protein, may accelerate renal function decline in women with mild renal insufficiency.

The abstract doesn't define 'high protein'. They do define renal function by saying 'Creatinine concentration was used to estimate glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and creatinine clearance.' |
