Watermelon is low in potassium (112 mg/100g) and very low in sodium — a hydrating, kidney-friendly fruit. However, its high water content matters for patients with fluid restrictions: on dialysis, fluid intake is typically limited to 500-1000 mL/day plus urine output, so watermelon portions must count toward the fluid allowance.
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 cup diced (152g) — always count this toward your daily potassium, phosphorus, and (on dialysis) fluid budget.
