Answer: The health condition associated with the overconsumption of protein is KIDNEY DISEASE. Option A.
Explanation:
Protein is an essential nutrient needed for body building and repairing of tissues. It is made up of amino acids which are used for synthesising tissue secretions which includes antibodies, enzymes and hormones. Amino acids not needed in the body are broken down (deaminated) by the liver.
The kidneys are remarkable organs that filter waste compounds, excess nutrients and liquids out of the bloodstream, producing urine. Over consumption of protein in individuals with healthy kidney may not cause any harm but will serve as an advantage to them.
Disease conditions such as in kidney disease, high protein intake can cause harm because there is increased workload and strain on the kidney as it clears the excess metabolites of protein from the blood stream.
