Tempeh is a protein-dense fermented soy food — but it's high in both potassium (412 mg/100g) and phosphorus (266 mg/100g). In early CKD it can substitute for meat; in stages 4-5 and dialysis, portions must be small and counted against the potassium and phosphorus budget.
Values are approximate, based on USDA FoodData Central and ICMR-NIN Indian Food Composition Tables. Actual values vary by variety, ripeness, and cooking method.
100g — always count this toward your daily potassium, phosphorus, and (on dialysis) fluid budget.
