Your kidneys will be fine... high protein is only an issue for people with pre-existing kidney conditions.
Plus, the idea that people can only digest 30g is simply wrong. I don't know how that got started. Maybe a myth perpetuated by the supplement industry to promote people taking frequent scoops of their stuff instead of larger, infrequent food doses.
Prehistoric man survived by living off herds of grazing creatures. They wouldn't eat for a while, and then all at once they'd gorge themselves on a kill (no refrigeration, you don't have long to eat it). If the body suddenly arbitrarily stopped digestion protein after 30g, our ancestors would have been f---ed, to put it mildly.

. I weight about 194 or so, and if I go above 400 grams of protein a day I start to feel gout in my ankle and toe, anything under that and I do not. If I drink 300 grams of whey protein in shake form in a day I also start to feel a little gouty 
, but casinate does not have the same effect. So, I can handle up to 400 grams of protein a day as long as the majority of it is from real food. How does this apply to the rest of the population? I have no clue. And, the docs can find nothing wrong with my kidneys, they say that my body is just not very efficent at removing urea.
