Will regular kidney function decline?

Female  37 years old 2018-06-26
I love tofu. I saw on the Internet that people who regularly eat tofu will have a decline in kidney function. Will eating tofu often cause a decline in kidney function?

    When plant protein is ingested by the body, most of it becomes nitrogen-containing waste after being metabolized and excreted by the kidneys. If you eat a lot of tofu for a long time and consume too much plant protein, it will inevitably cause excessive nitrogen-containing waste in the body and increase the burden on the kidneys. In particular, elderly people with reduced kidney excretion capacity may have further decline in kidney function.
