Can one time when protein overdose cause kidney damage?I had way too much whey protein over a course a couple days without really realizing it. I had this shake thing that was very high in amino acids, maybe like 5 servings a day - some of those servings relatively close together. Now I'm having urine issues, needing to urinate continuously. Could I have kidney damage now? Obviously now I know not to have supplements like that anymore, but I'm wondering if its possible to do have done something that fast.

Too much protein CAN cause kidney damage but if is often rare. Have you gone to the doctor? Maybe you are peeing alot because you drank so much water with all your shakes? If this keeps happening for the next 2 days, definitely go to the doctor.
I have been drinking protein shakes for over 6 years now. There are times there I drink 3 shakes a day (2 scoops per shake which is 6 servings) and nothing happens to me. My friend does the same so don't be worried. Remember to see doctor if problems keep persisting.

It may or may not happpen the first time you have an overdose on any kind of protein supplement but just to be safe next time be careful not to take more then what is directed and check with Doctor if you have any more problems.

Kidney damage is rare from overdosing on protein. Check with your Dr. Make sure you are using a high quality whey protein without any chemicals.
