Frequently asked questions

Can I eat strawberries on dialysis?

For most people on dialysis, yes — a modest handful fits comfortably in a potassium budget. As always, your own blood results and dietitian's plan come first.

These pages are general education about eating with kidney disease, dialysis or a kidney transplant. They are not medical advice and do not replace your own care plan. Kidney diets are individual: what is right for you depends on your stage, your blood tests, your medicines and your other conditions. Always talk to your care team or renal dietitian before changing what you eat, and never stop or change a medicine because of something you read here.
