Potassium Matters

Managing potassium levels is important for people living with kidney disease. We’ve worked with CSL Vifor to develop the following Potassium Matters resources to highlight the importance of managing potassium as part of a balanced diet for those who have or have had high levels of potassium in their blood (hyperkalaemia). The Potassium Matters resources have been initiated and funded by CSL Vifor and developed with input from the National Kidney Federation, Pumping Marvellous Foundation, Joanna Pulman a Kidney Dietitian and Gillian King who lives with Chronic Kidney Disease.

View the Potassium Matters leaflet here

This leaflet explains why managing potassium levels when living with kidney disease is so important. Find out more about hyperkalaemia (high potassium) – what causes it, why it’s important – and tips to support management of potassium levels through food choices. The leaflet includes recipes along with tables of high potassium and low potassium foods that may help you when making food choices, but it is important to remember that portion size impacts intake. View the leaflet here.
