@Lonewolfkg @medical-health-Lonewolfkg a friend who is a doctor was telling me about someone who suffered major trauma, huge burns. They almost died due to kidney failure. It seems that they were on a protein supplement kick and all that extra protein nearly destroyed the kidneys. Adding the extra load of the burns was almost too much.
