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).
Hemodialysis patients who have 3 treatments a week need to restrict potassium to prevent high levels between dialysis treatments. A low potassium diet is generally 2000 mg a day, although some people can consume up to 3000 mg daily and maintain normal levels. For a list of foods high in potassium, see my past post High Potassium Foods to Limit on the Kidney Diet to download the list or read the article Potassium and Chronic Kidney Disease, which lists high and low potassium foods.
