What Is Potassium?

information from the National Institutes of Health

Potassium is a mineral that the body needs to work normally. It helps nerves and muscles communicate. It also helps move nutrients into cells and waste products out of cells. A diet rich in potassium helps to offset some of sodium's harmful effects on blood pressure.

For potassium content of 8,000+ common foods see: Potassium Counter.

Why Is Potassium Important for People with Chronic Kidney Disease?

In some people with chronic kidney disease, the kidneys may not remove extra potassium from the blood. Some medicines also can raise your potassium level. Your food choices can help you lower your potassium level.

How Do I Know My Potassium Is High?

People often do not feel any different when their potassium is high. Your health care provider will check the level of potassium in your blood and the medicines you take. The level of potassium in your blood should be between 3.5 to 5.0.

How Do I Lower Potassium in My Diet?

• Eat smaller portions of foods high in protein at meals and for snacks: meat, poultry, fish, beans, dairy, and nuts.
• Use spices and herbs in cooking and at the table. Salt substitutes often contain potassium and should not be used.
• Potassium chloride can be used in place of salt in some packaged foods, like canned soups and tomato products. Limit foods with potassium chloride on the ingredient list.
• Drain canned fruits and vegetables before eating.
• If you have diabetes, choose apple, grape, or cranberry juice when your blood sugar goes down.
• Choose fruits and vegetables that are lower in potassium. Have very small portions of foods that are higher in potassium, like one slice of tomato on a sandwich, a few slices of banana on cereal, or half of an orange.
