Is it ok to drink gatorade when u have polycystic kidney disease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: If you have PKD without any effects of chronic kidney disease i.e. difficulty balancing potassium (to the point where it gets high), then you should be fine. If you have had issues with your potassium levels being high, then I would recommend not drinking the sports drink.
