Potassium related problems

The kidneys of the CKD patients have a hard time removing potassium from their blood. If serum creatinine levels advanced to 5.0 mEq/l the nephrologists suggest taking low potassium. High serum creatinine can cause an irregular heartbeat.

Thus, it is recommended to the patients to limit the watermelon intake to 1 cup per day that makes up only 180 mg of potassium. Excess consumption used for kidney cleaning can increase the level of potassium in the body.
