Brown rice has about 2.5x the potassium (86 vs 35 mg/100g) and nearly double the phosphorus (83 vs 43 mg/100g) of white rice. For early CKD, brown rice's fiber is a plus; for stages 3-5 and dialysis, white rice is the safer staple. Portion control matters if you choose brown.
Values are approximate, based on USDA FoodData Central and ICMR-NIN Indian Food Composition Tables. Actual values vary by variety, ripeness, serving size, and cooking method. The database rating is a general reference, not an individualized diet recommendation.
1/2 cup cooked (100g) — always count this toward your daily potassium, phosphorus, and (on dialysis) fluid budget.
