lower incidence of chronic kidney disease and cardiovascular events. In cohort studies …

Background Low urine potassium excretion, as a surrogate for dietary potassium intake, is
associated with higher risk for hypertension and cardiovascular disease in a general …

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

The practice of recommending a lowpotassium diet to patients with chronic kidney disease
(CKD) is widespread despite being mostly opinion-based. 1 Several observational studies …

Background & aims High potassium intake has been suggested to lower the risk for renal
