Nephrologist: Potassium balance is tightly regulated by the kidneys, so any potassium disorder implies some derangement in potassium handling. If you have high potassium problems, you must consult nephrologist. Pork has the highest amount of potassium followed by beef and chicken. If you have high potassium level, you have to limit meat intake.
