The doctor said that the original potassium content of shiitake mushrooms was only 277mg, but after being processed into dried shiitake mushrooms, the potassium directly soared to 2016mg.

[Health Channel/Comprehensive Report] Potassium is one of the important minerals for the human body, but you know that high-potassium foods are not only fruits.

Chen Youcheng, Director of Nephrology Department of Xintai General Hospital, listed 7 categories of high-potassium foods. Judging from foods with a potassium content of >300mg per 100 grams, they are like processed dry goods. The highest content of soybeans is 1667mg; nuts and seeds such as chickpeas 1096mg; whole grains and rhizomes such as rice germ 1321mg, etc., remind the public to pay attention to intake, especially those with chronic kidney disease and kidney dialysis.

Chen Youcheng posted on the Facebook page "Dr. Chen Youcheng Kidney Specialist" that according to the American Reference Dietary Intake (DRI), the recommended daily intake of potassium ions for healthy adults without kidney disease is more than 4.7 grams; For patients with stage 1 and stage 2, the daily intake of potassium ions should be at least 4 grams; for patients with stage 3 and stage 4 chronic kidney disease, it should be 2-4 grams; for patients with hemodialysis, the intake must be strictly controlled below 2 grams , to avoid hyperkalemia; peritoneal dialysis patients rarely experience hyperkalemia because the dialysate does not contain potassium ions, so the limit of potassium ions can be relaxed, and it can be controlled below 4 grams per day.

Chen Youcheng said that according to the recommendations of the Renal Nutrition Council of the National Kidney Foundation (NKF), foods can be classified into the following four grades according to the potassium content, and reminded patients with chronic kidney disease to avoid foods with high potassium ion content when eating, so as to It's safe to eat.

●Low potassium food:

Potassium content <100mg.

●Foods with medium potassium content:

Potassium content 100-200mg.

●High potassium food:

Potassium content 200-300mg.

●Extremely high potassium food:

Potassium content> 300mg.

As for which foods are high in potassium?

Chen Youcheng sorted out the common "very high potassium" foods, these foods must be absolutely avoided.

The following ingredients are based on the content per 100 grams and the potassium content > 300mg.

●Processed dried food: For

food with the same ingredients, after air-dried and processed, the potassium ion content may increase sharply, so don't be careless.

The original 277mg of shiitake mushrooms, after being processed into dried shiitake mushrooms, the potassium directly soared to 2016mg; 309mg of bamboo shoots, 1805mg of dried bamboo shoots after processing; 56mg of dried fungus, 1470mg of dried fungus after processing; 282mg of longan, 1235mg of dried longan after processing; 122mg of grapes, 710mg of raisins after processing; 197mg of persimmons, 611mg of persimmons after processing.
