    I have CKD with diabetes, high potassium, gout, high cholesterol, and high tryglicerides. In other words, I’m a hot mess. I am looking for all the help I can get to get the potassium under control by diet.

      Hope that the low potassium handout will work! I would definitely work with a renal dietitian to work out a plan for yourself. I work with clients virtually or you can search for a renal dietitian at renalnutrition.org. So much of what you described looks like some significant inflammatory response in your body! Nutrition and gut health can be huge at helping resolve these!

      Hi Manik- Baking soda is used on occasion with CKD but you should definitely talk with your nephrologist about this as there are certain blood levels he would be monitoring!

    I recently gave blood in late January and again in early April. My potassium was elevated at a 6.0 in January and the most recent blood test calculated it at 6.3. Whenever I do a search for lowering high potassium, I see a lot of articles that mention hyperkalemia, CKD, etc. How do I go about seeing what is causing my potassium to be elevated all of a sudden? My doctor didn’t seem to be too concerned about this elevation, but I am concerned that this might need more medical attention than my doctor has led me to believe. I experience short, sharp pains periodically in different areas of my chest cavity, but it goes away very quickly. What would you recommend as my next step?

      Hi Victoria, I can’t offer medical advice outside of regular appointments due to liability reasons. It sounds like a second opinion may be a good idea though. Definitely important to explore all your concerns above. One question that I often use with my doctors if they brush off a concern is, “What are the possible reasons this is happening?” and then after I am given an answer “Is there anything else that could be going on?” If the doctor doesn’t know then I find a new doctor.

    […] Patients on hemodialysis or those in later stage 4 kidney disease often need to follow a lower potassium diet. If peppers and onions aren’t your thing, you can change it up with other low potassium vegetables. […]
