Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the consequence of excessive protein intake on renal function?
  • Step 1: Understand that protein is broken down in the body into smaller parts called amino acids.
  • Step 2: When the body uses protein, it produces waste products, one of which is urea.
  • Step 3: Excessive protein intake means the body produces more urea than normal.
  • Step 4: The kidneys are responsible for filtering urea and other waste products from the blood.
  • Step 5: When there is too much urea, the kidneys have to work harder to filter it out.
  • Step 6: Over time, this extra work can stress the kidneys and may lead to problems with their function.
