High-potassium fruits and vegetables

The high potassium fruits and vegetables (over 200 mg/serving) in the list below may need to be limited if you are on a low-potassium diet.

If you’re on peritoneal dialysis (PD you may need to add high potassium foods to avoid potassium depletion. If you’re on home hemodialysis (HHD) or nocturnal dialysis you may find your kidney diet is more liberal in potassium since the treatment provides more dialysis than traditional in-center hemodialysis. People in early stages of CKD usually don’t require a potassium restriction unless blood levels are above normal.
