My boyfriends liver works to fast and he has too much protein in his urine and his muscles cramp up constantly. What can I do? He refuses to go to the doctor and keep his following appointments. Can his condition get worse?

I think it could at least if he doesn't change his diet.
How much meat and protein does he eat?
All I could find is cut back on the protein and workout.
What happens if you eat too much protein?
Most Americans eat too much protein. This results in a waste product called ammonia, a very toxic substance. Because it is so toxic, the body protects itself by turning the ammonia into urea, which is then carried to the kidneys and excreted. If you don't eat too much protein, the liver can neutralize ammonia. If you eat too much protein, poor digestion and/or a defect in liver function can result and toxic levels of ammonia can accumulate. Abnormally high levels of urea can also inflame the kidneys and cause back pain.
I think that eating papaya and/or pineapple should help neutralize his problem but still cut back on the protein.
