About this food
About Pork: Animal proteins tend to be higher in phosphorus, and animal phosphorus absorbs at 60-80% versus 30-50% for plants. Choosing low-phosphorus proteins such as egg whites or tofu, or controlling portions of red meat, is a common CKD approach. As a Meat & Protein item, its role in a kidney diet depends mainly on mineral content.
Nutrient insight
From the sodium angle (43%), Pork must fit inside your daily sodium budget.
Other nutrients
Protein24.1 gNot rated; needs attention at stage 4-5
Fiber0 gBeneficial for CKD (core plant-based nutrient)
A common practice is: Boiling meat first and discarding the water removes some phosphorus and potassium; prefer low-phosphorus proteins like egg whites.
Based on CKD stage 3-4 daily limits, Pork is rated Higher risk - Sodium is the highest contributor at 43% of its limit. Ratings reflect public nutrition data only; individual cases should follow medical advice.
Why is Pork rated Higher risk?
Among phosphorus, sodium and potassium, Pork's Sodium is highest (861 mg, 43% of daily limit), falling in the >30% band - hence the Higher risk rating.
How much Sodium is in Pork?
Per 100 g, Pork provides Sodium 861 mg, compared with the CKD stage 3-4 limit of 2,000 mg (43%).
Is Pork safe on a low-potassium diet?
On a low-potassium plan, Pork exceeds the 300 mg reference, showing 511 mg of Potassium per 100 g. Individual targets vary by CKD stage and lab results.
How does Pork compare to other meat & protein foods?
Within Meat & Protein, Pork ranks more on Sodium (861 mg per 100 g) than the group average. Individual needs still decide what fits your plan.
