No matter what stage CKD you are, diet is always an important part of your treatment plan. Your diet may change over time if your kidney disease gets worse so as to eat potato, that is, whether patients can eat potato depends on their specific condition.
Patients whose urine is still normal
In the early stage of CKD, patients’ urine is usually normal, so wastes, extra water and toxin can discharge from the body via urine. In this time, potato is OK for them, but these patients should avoid fried potatoes that will increase workload on the kidney.
Patients whose potassium level is lower or who are on peritoneal dialysis
Low potassium is a common complication of peritoneal dialysis. Because potato contains rich potassium, so it is recommended for people with low potassium or on peritoneal dialysis.
Patients who can’t urinate normally, have high potassium level or are on hemodialysis
Normally, our kidney is responsible to keep potassium balance. Once a large part or nearly all of kidney function is lost, potassium level will rise spontaneously. This case commonly occurs on patients on hemodialysis or with abnormal urination. For these patients, they should avoid potatoes.
People whose blood glucose is higher than the normal
Because the main content of potato is starch that can increase blood glucose largely, patients with Diabetes or high blood sugar should also avoid it.
From the above, we can know not all patients with Chronic Kidney Disease can consume potato freely. Different patients have a big difference in eating potatoes. If you have Chronic Kidney Disease and still have some queries about “can people with Chronic Kidney Disease eat potato” or other foods, feel free to tell us and we will give you suggestions in detail.
