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.
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.
3 dates (72g) — always count this toward your daily potassium, phosphorus, and (on dialysis) fluid budget.
