I use it as a seasoning. Do you mean taking it as a supplement? Maybe some ingredients unsafe for kidney disease in supplement?

Thank you need to check with my consultant then trying to use in cooking at the moment. Best wishes

The quote below is from livestrong.com/article/4802...

"You may know it best as the spice in curry that provides its distinctive flavor and yellow color, but turmeric does more than stimulate your taste buds. This little spice has properties that may help you fight off infection, prevent cancer and help digestive problems. While turmeric is a source of potassium, a nutrient that people with kidney disease may need to limit, this spice may do more good than harm when it comes to kidney health. Consult your doctor to discuss turmeric and your personal health."

You must be proactive and check out the information available before you take anything if you have CKD.

The same doctor who didn't diagnose my KD (or she knew and did not tell me) suggested I take turmeric in a Tablespoon of honey with cinnamon and black pepper. Go figure.
