Your High potassium is not just due to vegetables and fruits | Kidneyblogs.com | Episode 287

Nephrologists have been depriving their patients of nutrient-rich foods, for they feared that such foods, also rich in potassium, may raise potassium levels to a fatal range. Although this traditional strategy prevented hyperkalemia, it came at a significant cost—malnutrition and poor general health.

Research also revealed that there was no evidence that potassium-rich foods usually led to hyperkalemia.

This video explains why restricting potassium-rich foods was an imperfect approach, one rooted in incomplete science, more harmful to patients than beneficial.

✅ About Kidneyblogs by Dr. Awais Zaka, MD.

I am a nephrologist and kidney doctor who believes that the best tool to reduce the burden of kidney disease globally is not medication, lab tests, or even genetics research. Instead, knowledge of kidney disease can best protect our kidneys.

This channel is part of the kidney disease awareness project I have worked on for years. It started with long conversations with kidney patients in the office and hospital. During these conversations, I was perplexed to see patients’ lack of knowledge about their kidney disease.

To fill this gap, I developed a blog for kidney disease patients, “Kidneyblogs.com,” where patients could find the correct information—and access a nephrologist for kidney-related questions. But then, I realised that not all Urdu- and Hindi-speaking patients could read English, and many preferred listening. This revelation led to the formation of the YouTube channel you will explore.

Thank you for watching my channel.
