POTASSIUM - Stanford University
PATIENT INFORMATION POTASSIUM POTASSIUM is a mineral that is necessary to keep the heart and other muscles functioning normally. It is also important for the nervous system and cellular enzymes. The normal amount of POTASSIUM in the diet is 2000- 4000mg (or 50- 100mEq) daily. A diet high in POTASSIUM may be protective against developing hypertension and POTASSIUM deficiency and may increase blood pressure. A diet rich in POTASSIUM , or greater than 4000mg daily (or 100mEq), may be helpful as part of the dietary treatment for high blood pressure Excess POTASSIUM is removed from the body by the kidneys. Therefore, people with kidney disease may need to restrict their dietary POTASSIUM generally to less than 2000mg (or ~50mEq) daily. Some medications may also interfere with POTASSIUM excretion. Check with your physician for your recommended POTASSIUM intake.
