I urge you to educate yourself about the fundamentals of nutrition and the
physiology of the human body before continuing to post.
Here's a good place to start:

There is a vast difference between low-carb diets and high-protein diets. But
even if there weren't, high protein will not damage kidneys that aren't
otherwise compromised, as long as fluid intake is maintained.
