Makes sense. Well kind of hard to avoid for a pro bodybuilders with the the dosages they have to use to be competetive.

It's partly due to BP but not only that, steroids themselves have deleterious effects on the kidneys. Impossible to say how much the tox part accounts for with bb kidney problems.

Most bb use BP medications now, at least those who are online. Gurus advocate it from the start of juicing. Saw some heavyweight say there's never an excuse to be over 120/80 even if you are a heavyweight. This is a more severe tolerance than even most doctors.

The super-high protein diets can be hard on kidneys too, although mostly for kidneys that are already damaged.

Not true. This has been debunked a 1000 times. Healthy kidneys can handle more then you'll ever be able to eat. Diuretics on the other hand don't help

Whenever i tried very high protein (for my frame) i got smelly foamy urine. That can't be healthy in the long run. Don Long himself stated that he had to cut on protein for a total of 100 grams daily, relying his diet on mostly white rice.

20nm brain, did you miss the part where I said "mostly for kidneys that are already damaged" ?  High protein diets are detrimental for renal function in people with or at risk for kidney disease, there are decades of science on this.  "Or at risk for..." would include diabetes, high body weight, pounding down diuretics, etc.

Kinda surprised he is still around. I'm sure he and his wife get busted for dealing too. Gotta give him credit for keeping his life together.
