Overview

A kidney diet is personal. Your limits for potassium, phosphorus, sodium, protein and fluids depend on your stage of kidney disease, your lab results and whether you're on dialysis, and your renal dietitian sets them. What helps day to day is knowing which foods are generally lower or higher, so planning meals with those limits gets easier.

This printable sorts foods into lower in potassium, portion matters and higher in potassium, using the National Kidney Foundation's half-cup servings. A second page covers phosphorus and sodium: lower choices, what to check on ingredient labels, like "PHOS" additives and potassium chloride, and what to limit. It doesn't set limits or amounts.

Questions

Does this list tell me my potassium or phosphorus limit?

No. Limits depend on your stage, your labs and whether you're on dialysis. Your renal dietitian or doctor sets them. This list shows which foods are generally lower or higher.

What counts as a high-potassium food?

The National Kidney Foundation calls a food high in potassium if a serving has 200 mg or more. Servings are ½ cup unless a food lists its own size, and a big serving of a lower-potassium food can become high.

Where does the information come from?

The National Kidney Foundation's potassium and phosphorus guides and the NIDDK's guide to healthy eating with chronic kidney disease.

Can I use it on my iPad?

Yes. Import the PDF into GoodNotes, Notability, Xodo or any PDF app. The index and section tabs are clickable, so you can tap to jump between sections.

Will I get a printed copy in the mail?

No. It's a digital download. You print the pages yourself at home or at a print shop, or use them on a tablet.
