Potatoes can be problematic for people on dialysis due to their high potassium content, which can lead to elevated potassium levels in the blood, a condition known as hyperkalemia. Dialysis patients often need to limit potassium intake to avoid serious health issues. However, potatoes can still be consumed in moderation if properly prepared, such as by soaking or boiling them, which may reduce their potassium levels. It’s essential for dialysis patients to consult with a healthcare provider or dietitian for personalized dietary guidance.
