Renal failure diet: I have looked many places and have concluded that okra is a high potassium food. Because potassium can accumulate when your kidneys are not working well and thjs can cause major problems, any food that contains a whole lot of potassium should be completely avoided or taken in very small quantities. Talk with your doctor and dietician about the best foods for you under your current circumstances.
