Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, 08/10/09
Sherman RA et al. – Uncooked meat and poultry products that are enhanced may contain additives that increase phosphorus and potassium content by as much as almost two– and three–fold, respectively; this modification may not be discernible from inspection of the food label.
Richard A. Sherman, 08/10/09
| The impact of these finding - particularly those regarding potassium- on CKD patients not on dialysis should be considered as well. We all have had to stop potentially valuable ACE inhibitors, ARBs, aldosterone antagonists and NSAIDs in patients due to hyperkalemia. Perhaps, the very high potassium content of these 'enhanced' meats may be playing a role in some patients. |
