How much potassium is in cabbage savoy and how does it fit stage 2?

Cabbage Savoy contains 230 mg potassium per 100g. At stage 2, your daily potassium budget is 2,800 mg — one standard serving (1/2 cup cooked (~75g)) uses approximately 8% of that budget. This fits comfortably within the allowance.

What should stage 2 patients eat instead of cabbage savoy?

Safer alternatives for stage 2 include: Cucumber, Bottle Gourd (Lauki). Each is rated safe or caution at this stage with lower potassium or phosphorus per serving.

Is Cabbage Savoy Safe for Stage 2?

Q: Can cabbage savoy be eaten in stage 2 kidney disease?

Cabbage Savoy is rated SAFE for stage 2 (eGFR 60-89 mL/min/1.73m²). Cabbage Savoy is safe for stage 2 patients: potassium 230 mg/100g, phosphorus 42 mg/100g, and sodium 28 mg/100g all sit within the lenient thresholds for this stage. Normal portions (1/2 cup cooked (~75g)) fit the daily 2,800 mg potassium budget comfortably.

GENERALLY LOWER CONCERN at this stage • eGFR 60-89 mL/min/1.73m²

Serving Advice at Stage 2

Standard serving (1/2 cup cooked (~75g)) is fine. For very high-volume foods, keep to one serving per day.

Stage 2 Diet Rules

Stage 2 (eGFR 60-89 with damage markers) still allows most foods in normal portions. Monitoring tightens and kidney-protective medications (SGLT2 inhibitors if albuminuric) enter the picture.

Potassium stays flexible but start learning the high-K foods — they'll matter later.
Prioritize sodium <2,000 mg/day; hypertension accelerates stage 2 progression.
Begin SGLT2 inhibitor discussion if albuminuric (UACR >200 mg/g) per KDIGO 2024.
Choose whole fruits over juices — juice concentrates potassium and sugar.
Watch portion sizes of nuts and seeds (high phosphorus).

No fluid restriction yet — drink to thirst, avoid dehydration. Protein target: 0.8 g/kg/day.
