A member asked:
Why are fruits/fruit juices bad for patients with chronic kidney disease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Juice and CKD: Patients with CKD can have problems with potassium (K) accumulation leading to high blood K levels. Juices that have high K content are citrus juices, orange, grapefruit, lime and lemonade and tomato juice, which is not a citrus juice. Apple juice can be ingested by people with CKD, as it is not high in K.
