Hyperkalemia and Plant-Based Diets in Chronic Kidney Disease

Copyright © 2023. Published by Elsevier Inc..

Traditional dietary guidelines for patients with kidney disease recommend restriction of plant foods due to concerns about hyperkalemia and associated adverse events. Studies conducted over several decades have shown that the basis for these guidelines does not match the evidence. Serum potassium levels can be elevated in patients with reduced kidney function after consumption of foods with potassium-based additives or with highly concentrated potassium content such as juices, dried fruit, or purees. However, plant foods may have certain qualities that may blunt potassium retention including their alkalinizing effects, the lack of bioavailable potassium, and the impact of dietary fiber in organic plant foods on colonic potassium excretion. Furthermore, there are many benefits of plant foods that patients with kidney disease may be missing by excluding them from their diets by recommending the historical low-potassium "renal diet." Revised dietary recommendations for kidney health may encourage patient-centered kidney recipes that revolve around plant foods and do not restrict them.
