Pumpkin is moderate in potassium (340 mg/100g). For early CKD: fine in normal portions. For stages 3-5 and dialysis: limit to ½ cup cooked and consider leaching (boil, discard water). Pumpkin seeds are very high in phosphorus — avoid them in advanced 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.
1/2 cup cooked (122g) — always count this toward your daily potassium, phosphorus, and (on dialysis) fluid budget.
