Kidney-Friendly Foods in Morocco

Dates are very high in potassium (696 mg/100g) — three dates alone provide ~500 mg. They're also extremely high in sugar (66g/100g). Both factors make dates problematic for advanced CKD and diabetic kidney disease. Avoid in CKD stages 3-5 and dialysis; limit to 1-2 dates occasionally in early CKD.
