Low potassium or hypokalemia, especially if persistent, can induce a variety of changes in renal function, impairing tubular transport and possibly inducing chronic tubulointerstitial disease and cyst formation.
Diet modification is recommended for you. High sodium intake tends to enhance renal potassium losses. Therefore, taking a low-sodium, high-potassium diet is best for you. Avoid extra salt in foods. Bananas, tomatoes, oranges, and peaches are high in potassium and can be included in your diet.
