The Science
Beef kidneys are high in sodium (8% DV per 100g) and contain no fiber, which can contribute to elevated blood pressure. While they provide potassium (6% DV) that may help counterbalance sodium, the sodium content and lack of fiber outweigh this benefit for hypertension management.
Recommendation
Avoid or strictly limit beef kidneys if you have high blood pressure, and opt for lower-sodium, high-fiber protein sources like legumes or skinless poultry.
