1 interaction related to potatoes
Potatoes are one of the most concentrated dietary sources of potassium, and ACE inhibitors reduce how much potassium the kidneys excrete by lowering aldosterone. Regularly eating large servings of potatoes while taking an ACE inhibitor can nudge serum potassium upward, especially in people with chronic kidney disease, heart failure, or diabetes, or those taking other potassium-raising medicines.
