what do you refer as too much protein?
I work perfect (as well as many others) with 45-50%. Never done a 70 or 80% prot diet. Too much protein will put an extra load on your liver, specially if you don't drink enough water.
Up to 50% you need not to worry about anything, drink your water and that will be it.

Cutting 50% protein works fine. Up your fats to 30%, this will help with test levels. 20% carbs and you should be fine.
Unless you want to go keto or something.
Here is an interesting study to do with protein itake and kidneys you hear so much about....

Do Regular High Protein Diets Have Potential Health Risks on Kidney Function in Athletes?

Abstract
Excess protein and amino acid intake have been recognized as hazardous potential implications for kidney function, leading to progressive impairment of this organ. It has been suggested in the literature, without clear evidence, that high protein intake by athletes has no harmful consequences on renal function. This study investigated body-builders (BB) and other well-trained athletes (OA) with high and medium protein intake, respectively, in order to shed light on this issue. The athletes underwent a 7-day nutrition record analysis as well as blood sample and urine collection to determine the potential renal consequences of a high protein intake. The data revealed that despite higher plasma concentration of uric acid and calcium, Group BB had renal clearances of creatinine, urea, and albumin that were within the normal range. The nitrogen balance for both groups became positive when daily protein intake exceeded 1.26 g q kg–1 but there were no correlations between protein intake and creatinine clearance, albumin excretion rate, and calcium excretion rate. To conclude, it appears that protein intake under 2.8 gq kg–1 does not impair renal function in well-trained athletes as indicated by the measures of renal function used in this study.
