I can't take the chance. But I am getting plenty of protein. And all the studies I have read say that high protein does not 'cause' kidney failure. But if the kidneys are already damaged the kidneys have a hard time processing protein and it puts more stress on them.
I hope you continue to stay healthy and maintain your weight. It gives hope that it can be done. 😊

A great way to explore the nutrients you may be lacking is to take this free 7 day Nutrient Clarity Challenge.
https://app.nutrientoptimiser.com/optin1587482063307
It takes account your health challenges and everything you currently eat (you do have to track your food for a week) and makes recommendations for foods to add. This guides you to eliminate expensive and often useless supplements and replace/add healthy foods. For example, I now eat more small canned fish for Omega 3 and calcium…no need for fish oil supplements that are often rancid or calcium which without co-factors may end up in the wrong place. I did this 7 days of food tracking before I started DDF so I eased into Optimising Nutrition just by eating more fiberous vegetables, more fermented dairy, more fish and poultry while cutting back on cheese and added fats.
The free Data Driven Fasting book (now 186 pages!) also answers about every question about timing eating based on your own Blood glucose. The two common root causes of kidney disease are high blood glucose/diabetes and high blood pressure, and fasting combined with a low carb diet may help. Without adding Protein you may be able to find a fasting schedule best suited to your body. https://optimisingnutrition.com/. The articles on the blog from the Big Fat Keto Lies book are helpful as well. https://optimisingnutrition.com/big...s-introduction/
