2, increase the burden on the kidney, leading to decreased renal function and proteinuria.

Protein needs to be processed by the liver and converted into human substances. At the same time, protein produces nitrogen-containing substances such as ammonia, urea and inosine during metabolism in the body, which need to be excreted through the kidney. If you take too much, it will increase the burden of liver and kidney and have a negative impact on the human body. Especially in patients with diabetes, nephritis, renal insufficiency and other diseases, the degree of kidney damage is more serious, and proteinuria is a symptom.

After the body's redundant protein is digested and absorbed, the liver will convert them into hepatic glycogen or muscle glycogen for storage; If liver glycogen or muscle glycogen is enough, it will be converted into fat and stored; This will make people fat.

Excessive intake of protein by postmenopausal women will make the kidneys excrete more calcium, reduce the degree of osteoporosis and cause osteoporosis.
