I just wanted to bring two more quick points into focus. Most kidney-protein studies are geared towards the common person, not weight trained athletes. If the average couch potato joe were to intake 300+ grams of protein then the protein not needed for repair WOULD excrete higher than average amounts of nitrogen through urine because your body doesn't need all the nitrogen for muscle repair, it only would need energy. So, this is why I say it's relative based upon your level and frequency of training. It would be very unwise to consume excess protein for no reason at all, if your body didn't need it.
Next, let's assume someone IS excreting higher than average levels of nitrogen whether because they're in a catabolic state or just eat too much protein for their activity level. It is up to the scientists to prove it harms the kidneys longterm which simply hasn't been done yet.
