Reply to comment by NoSusJelly in Diets with low potassium are associated with kidney injuries and a culprit in cardiovascular disease by giuliomagnifico

Now im confused. I have kidney disease.... should I eat the banana or no? Ive been told to lower protein but nothing about potassium.

Thats probably a better question for your nephrologist

I'm not due for my measurements until July!! Guess I cram in all the good food until then. Here for a fun time, not a long time.

Can you maybe meet with a renal dietitian who works with your nephrologist? They should have someone to refer you if not part of their group. It might be worth a referral. I have a family member who’s worked in this area for many years.

Depends on what level CKD you have. Ask your nephrologist.
