I would like to know if there is any type of protein that do not cause kidney damage and an increase in urea and creatinine serum levels.

There isn't a problem with protein and kidney function in "healthy" individuals.  Do you have existing kidney problems?

possibly pea protein hydrolysate

i've seen it come up in several areas, but i don't know accurate the headline stories are, so take it with a grain of salt.

You may find Kremezin interesting.

I´m asking because I have only one kidney working.

The other I lost due to a bad surgery.

So I would like to protect the only one I have.

I don´t eat much proteins, but even so my serum urea and creatinine are borderline.

Not eating proteins cause me to lose muscle mass.

That´s why I´m asking if there is any type of protein that form muscle mass without damage to kidneys.

you should probably be taking l-carnitine.  helps prevent muscle loss.  common supplement in people w/ reduced kidney function and lower protein intake.

I would also think that you want the highest quality protein (balanced amino acids), which include proper di and tri-peptides (No predigested protein), such as whey protein isolate.  Something like this:  http://www.iherb.com...g-Powder/9476

And of course the right amount of water for you, at least to the point of clear urine, while properly maintaining potassium/sodium ratios.  If in doubt, I'd substitute pedialyte for water if you can afford the cost and calories for a time.

quotes:
... An increase in the ratio of oxidized to unoxidized albumin was determined ... compared to a control group. The ratio was significantly reduced in the group that received AST-120 of 4 weeks, suggesting that AST-120 inhibits oxidative stress in CRF. ...

We have recently found that AST-120 binds to carboxymethyllysine (CML), one of the well-characterized, digested food-derived AGEs in vitro and that administration of AST-120 decreases serum levels of AGEs in non-diabetic CRF patients.

Kremezin alleviates oxidative stress in the kidneys by reducing serum levels of indoxyl sulfate

These results suggest that co-administration of AST-120 with conventional treatments retards decline in renal function in CKD patients with moderate decrease in renal function

Kremezin has additive salutary effects to halt the progressive loss of renal function

Could someone suggest a source for Kremezin? I live in South America.

Thanks a lot for all valuable inputs.
