Has anyone experienced kidney failure protein in urine chronic anemia?

Has the high amount of protein ingested in low-carb/high protein diets (like Atkins) and/or high protein intake following WLS has been found to have damaged anyone's kidneys? I have proteinuria and chronic anemia, and high BUN and creatine levels which apparently indicate kidney failure. I was on Atkin's back in the late 70's when I was in my 20's (lost 100 lbs one year) and did the same again in the '80's. Now I'm scheduled for open RNY (distal) and plan to take in lots of protein again. I am scheduled for a consult with a nephrologist next week, but was curious to hear if others have had a problem. Thanks.
