Peanut and CKD: Potassium, Phosphorus & Sodium Reference
The rating for Peanut is Higher risk under CKD stage 3-4 limits. Peanut receives a Higher risk rating. Phosphorus (36%) clearly exceeds the safe band - restrict or follow medical advice.
About Peanut
In a CKD diet, Legumes & Nuts deserve attention: Peanut - Legumes and nuts are typically high in both phosphorus and potassium, so they need care. Plant phosphorus absorbs at a lower rate (30-50%), so the real load is smaller than the numbers suggest.
Nutrient insight
Phosphorus leads at 36%. In CKD, track phosphorus intake and factor in the source (Natural plant source (lower absorption)) to judge the true burden.
