How much potassium per day for stage 3 kidney disease?

My granddad is at stage 3 and his nephrologist limited his potassium to 2000 mg daily. We had to stop giving him high-potassium foods like bananas and potatoes. You should definitely get a personalized chart from your doctor because stage 3 has different sub-stages.

Beta, at stage 3, you have to be very careful with your diet. Avoid heavy foods and coconut water, as they have too much potassium. It is usually kept under 2000 mg daily. Please ask your specialized doctor to guide you based on your monthly blood reports.

Managing blood pressure is crucial at stage 3 to protect your kidneys from further damage. The potassium limit is generally around 2000 mg daily, but this depends on your regular blood test results. Keep monitoring your blood pressure and get regular checkups with your doctor.

For vegetarians with stage 3 kidney disease, staying under the typical 2000 mg potassium limit can be tough because of high-potassium lentils and greens. Leaching vegetables by boiling them in plenty of water helps reduce potassium content. Make sure to consult a renal dietitian for a safe vegetarian meal plan.
