Stage-specific rating derived from Spinach Raw's potassium, phosphorus, and sodium per 100g against stage 2 renal diet budgets.
Spinach Raw should be avoided at stage 2: its potassium (558 mg/100g), phosphorus (49 mg/100g), or sodium (79 mg/100g) exceeds the safe threshold for this stage. One serving could consume 20% of your daily potassium budget. Choose a safer alternative from the list below.
Avoid entirely at stage 2. If potassium is well controlled and your nephrologist agrees, a strictly occasional bite (1-2 small pieces) may be acceptable — but the safer choice is a listed alternative.
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.
No fluid restriction yet — drink to thirst, avoid dehydration. Protein target: 0.8 g/kg/day.
