A member asked:
What is the recommended maximum sodium & potassium intake each day?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
1500 mg a day: This is for a "low sodium diet". Potassium intake could vary depending on whether you have advanced kidney disease or not. I have a comprehensive article on this here: http://www.Kidneydoctorbradenton.Org/2013/04/diet-for-patients-with-kidney-disease.Html.
