Actually.... High protein diets can cause de novo kidney disease. De novo means it's causal, from the new. Out of nowhere! Not even with pre-existing conditions, although if you have those pre-existing conditions then this applies even more.
I'm not aware of any direct links to kidney disease from dietary fat. But extremely high protein has strong causal links to de novo (along with comorbidities) kidney disease.
I'm not suggesting that you overdose on protein, if you're referring to rabbit starvation. If you aren't, would you care to provide more information?
Here's my thoughts.
Hyperfiltration exhausts (overworks, think of it like high blood pressure?) the kidneys.
This causes acceleration and perhaps inducing(de novo) disease.
I know the evidence is quite weak. But there's so many studies that show it's making it worse for people with even minor kidney impairment and it just gets worse as it gets worse showing an accelerated momentum effect.
