Are low protein diets safe?

I've been placed on a low protein, vegetarian, diet for the past 3 years. I have chronic kidney stone disease, and my protein limit a day doesn't pass 45 grams.

I'm just wondering if this sort-of diet is safe? I've been to dietitians and my doctors don't seem to mind... I just don't like it, it seems to keep me skinny and I don't have much muscle mass or much strength to do anything.
