Which of the following kidney treatments RESTRICTS dietary potassium?
Feedback
Correct, potassium is restricted in patients undergoing hemodialysis because there is more time for it to build up in the blood between treatments. Potassium needs are higher in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis and daily dialysis because the body does not have as much potassium buildup from these daily treatments. Patients who are post kidney transplant have no potassium restrictions.
