Salmon and CKD: Potassium Data per 100 g

For Potassium, Salmon provides 384 mg per 100 g, or 19% of the daily limit. Against the 2,000 mg daily allowance, this is a Moderate contribution.

About Salmon

Salmon sits in the Meat & Protein group. 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.

Nutrient insight

Phosphorus at 25% is the highest item. Additive phosphorus in processed foods absorbs best; naturally occurring phosphorus is more controllable.

Phosphorus / Sodium / Potassium per 100 g

Practical tips

If you are managing mineral intake: Boiling meat first and discarding the water removes some phosphorus and potassium; prefer low-phosphorus proteins like egg whites.
