People with functioning kidneys need around 4,700 mg of potassium in their daily diet. However, people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) should consume much less â around 1,500 to 2,700 mg each day. If you have CKD, you should have your potassium checked once a month by your doctor. Theyâll do this with a simple blood test. The blood test will determine your monthly level of potassium millimoles per liter of blood (mmol/L).
