Potassium and CKD

Update posted by Zee Sta Barbara

Good day! :)

What does potassium have in correlation to Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)?


Potassium is present in a lot of food groups but mostly in fruits and vegetables. For example, squash (kalabasa), sweet potatoes (kamote), potatoes, broccoli and bananas are rich in potassium. Hence CKD patients avoid such food or keep it very limited in order not to have Hyperkalemia

"When kidneys fail they can no longer remove excess potassium, so the level builds up in the body. High potassium in the blood is called hyperkalemia, which may occur in people with advanced stages of chronic kidney disease (CKD)."
