These are the long-term effects of avocados on our kidneys—and not everyone tells you.

Who Should Be Cautious?

For healthy kidneys, avocado can be protective. But for CKD patients—13% of adults globally (Lancet, 2024)—potassium and calorie intake can be risky. In fact, Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation (2023) noted that 20% of CKD patients developed hyperkalemia after a year of daily avocado intake. If you have kidney issues, consult a doctor before making it a habit.
