Tomatoes are high in potassium. People in the early stages of kidney disease don't usually have to limit their consumption of tomatoes. However, if your healthcare provider says your potassium levels are high, tomatoes may have to be on your restricted food list. This includes both raw tomatoes and tomato products, like sauce and ketchup.
Key points:
- Tomatoes are not inherently bad for creatinine.
- High potassium levels in tomatoes can be a concern for individuals with kidney disease.
- Consult your healthcare provider to determine if you need to limit your tomato intake.
