Yes. A high protein diet will put extra pressure on your kidneys, and you will actually have a negative nitrogen balance, because your kidneys will produce more urea from the large amino acid availability. You can check it the next time you urinate (standin up makes it is easier to see). If your urine is producing a large amount of foam (look in the toilet) then it might indicate that you are excreting a large amount of protein and that your nitrogen balance is negative.
