Background Dietary potassium restriction is a strategy to control hyperkalemia in chronic
kidney disease (CKD). However, hyperkalemia may result from a combination of clinical …

Results The median potassium intake at baseline was 3.5 (interquartile range, 2.5–5.0) g/d.
During a median follow-up of 4.0 years (25,890 person-years), we observed 2921 (36%) …

Abstract Changes in lifestyle and nutrition are recommended as the first-step approach to
the management of hypertension by all national and international guidelines. Today, when …

The prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is increasing and dietary interventions may
be a strategy to reduce this burden. In the general population, higher potassium intake is …

Hemodialysis patients are often advised to limit their intake of high-potassium foods to help
manage hyperkalemia. However, the benefits of this practice are entirely theoretical and not …

Background Observational studies suggest that adequate dietary potassium intake (90–120
mmol/day) may be renoprotective, but the effects of increasing dietary potassium and the risk …

In the general population, an increased potassium (K) intake lowers blood pressure (BP).
The effects of K have not been well-studied in individuals with chronic kidney disease …

BACKGROUND: Hyperkalemia has been associated with higher mortality in long-term
hemodialysis (HD) patients. There are few data concerning the relationship between dietary …

Potassium often has a negative connotation in Nephrology as patients with chronic kidney
disease (CKD) are prone to develop hyperkalaemia. Approaches to the management of …

Abstract Background/Aims: Dietary potassium (K+) has beneficial effects on blood pressure
