1 PATIENT INFORMATION Royal Devon and Exeter NHS Foundation Trust How to Have a Low Potassium Diet Name: Date: Contact Number: What is potassium? Potassium is a mineral that occurs naturally in many foods. The amount present in your blood is controlled by your kidneys. If the kidneys are not working properly, potassium levels can build up in the blood. A high level of potassium in your blood can be dangerous because it interferes with the working of muscles, including your heart. Certain medications and constipation can also result in high potassium levels. It is important to try to keep your blood potassium level within or close to the recommended range ( mmol/l). How can I keep my blood potassium level within a safe limit? You can help by being careful about what you eat and drink. Some foods need to be completely avoided and others can be taken in restricted amounts. What if I also suffer from diabetes? In addition to the above, good control of diabetes through diet and/or meditation can slow the progression of kidney disease and is important to prevent other complications. Some of the low potassium dietary advice may appear to conflict with information you have previously received for diabetes. It is important to achieve a balance which will keep your potassium and blood sugar levels safe. Reference Number: PS (Version date: September 2017) Page 1 of 6
2 What can I have to Eat and Drink? Potatoes Potatoes are high in potassium but you may have one portion per day (150g (6oz) - about 3 eggsized pieces) if they are boiled in plenty of water. Avoid any products made from potato which has not been boiled (see below). Remember to have... Instead of... Boiled or mashed potato Home made chips using boiled potatoes Fried potoatoes using boiled potatoes Corn (maize), rice or wheat crisps, e.g. Monster Munch (Roast Beef flavour), Mini Cheddars (Original), Walkers Sunbites, Nik Naks, Ryvita Minis, Quavers, poppadoms, plain popcorn, tortilla chips, breadsticks Instant mash, jacket potatoes Oven chips or chips from the chip shop Potato waffles/ croquettes Potato crisps Bread, rice, pasta, noodles and cous cous make a low potassium alternative to potatoes. On nonpotato days you can have 2 extra vegetable, salad or fruit servings. Vegetables, salads and fruits These foods are a very important part of a healthy diet, however, they are rich sources of potassium and should therefore be included in the correct amounts. Vegetables: boiling in plenty of water helps to reduce the potassium content. Remember to throw away the water and not use it to make gravy. Fruit: some tinned fruits are lower in potassium than their fresh equivalents. Remember to drain and throw away the juice or syrup as potassium from the fruit will have leached out into it. All dried fruit is very high in potassium, ½ a tablespoon would be 1 serving. Avoid fruit in syrup if you have diabetes. The following tables outline the potassium servings of many common vegetables and fruits. A serving of a LOW potassium vegetable/fruit is larger than a HIGH potassium one. If there are other vegetables/fruits not mentioned in the lists, please ask your dietitian to recommend amounts. Vegetables LOW in potassium Beansprouts (raw/stir-fry) Cabbage (boiled) Carrots (boiled) Cauliflower (boiled) Marrow (boiled) Mixed vegetables Peas (canned) Green peppers (raw/stir-fry) Pickled onions Pumpkin (boiled) Runner beans (boiled) Swede (boiled) is 125g/5oz As many as desired 4 tablespoons 4 tablespoons 2.5 tablespoons 4 tablespoons 1 small pepper 8 small/5 large 2.5 tablespoons Aim for... servings per day. Salad: one serving is 2 medium lettuce leaves, 3 slices cucumber and ½ a medium tomato. If you choose to have a larger salad this may use 2 or 3 servings from your allowance.

6 Summary All vegetables and potatoes must be boiled in a good quantity of water to reduce the potassium content. This should always be done before roasting or frying potatoes to make chips. Discard vegetable water and do not use it to make gravy or sauces. Do not use a pressure cooker, microwave or steamer method of cooking vegetables or potatoes as the potassium is not removed (once cooked they can be reheated in a microwave). Rice, pasta, couscous and noodles are much lower in potassium than potatoes so they are a good alternative for meal choices - opt for wholemeal varieties, particular if you have diabetes. Drain the juice from tinned fruit and discard as potassium leaches out into the juice. Keep to allowances of milk, potatoes, fruit and vegetables and avoid very high potassium foods, e.g. chocolate, nuts. Do not use salt substitutes, e.g. LoSalt, as they contain potassium. Written information cannot replace personalised recommendations. For further advice please seek a dietetic referral from your consultant or GP.
