It is essential for the growth and repair of cells, and it helps to build and maintain muscles, tendons, organs, and skin. However, for those with kidney disease, the recommended intake of protein can vary depending on the stage and severity of the condition. Kidneys play a crucial role in removing waste products from the blood, and when they are not functioning properly, they can become overwhelmed by excess protein in the diet.
