    Zheng Zikai, an attending physician in the Department of Nephrology, Hui'an County Hospital, Fujian Province, introduced that adults' daily potassium intake mainly comes from their diet, and meat, fruits, and vegetables are rich in potassium


    Potassium is the main cation in cells and plays an important role in maintaining the resting potential of cells and maintaining the normal physiological functions of nerve and muscle cells.


    The normal serum potassium concentration is 3.


    In view of the fact that the renal potassium excretion capacity of patients with uremia has been significantly reduced, the intake of high potassium diet should be strictly restricted in patients with uremia.


    How to do a low potassium diet?

    Zheng Zikai said that in general, low-potassium diets are mainly selected according to the potassium content in the food composition table.


    Hemodialysis is performed intermittently, and diet is directly related to the effect of dialysis treatment


    Zheng Zikai, the attending physician of the Department of Nephrology, Hui'an County Hospital, Fujian Province, studied in the First Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University
