Does whey protein affect the kidneys?

Research shows that when consumed in moderation, it’s generally safe and doesn’t harm kidney function. Your kidneys do filter waste from your blood, and while high protein intake can increase their workload a bit, there's no strong evidence that moderate whey protein consumption harms them.

A study in the *American Journal of Kidney Diseases* found that high-protein diets might worsen kidney problems in those with CKD.

If your kidneys are healthy, you’re good to go with moderate whey protein. But if you're worried about potential risks, it's always a good idea to choose a high-quality whey protein. Higher-quality proteins, like those with minimal additives, artificial ingredients, and cleaner filtration methods, can be easier on your body overall.

Too much protein can make the kidneys work harder and could speed up kidney damage in people with conditions like chronic kidney disease (CKD).
