Stage-specific rating derived from Ridge Gourd (Turai)'s potassium, phosphorus, and sodium per 100g against stage 2 renal diet budgets.
Ridge Gourd (Turai) is safe for stage 2 patients: potassium 139 mg/100g, phosphorus 21 mg/100g, and sodium 4 mg/100g all sit within the lenient thresholds for this stage. Normal portions (1 cup cooked (130g)) fit the daily 2,800 mg potassium budget comfortably.
Standard serving (1 cup cooked (130g)) is fine. For very high-volume foods, keep to one serving per day.
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.
