In stage 3 kidney disease, there is a moderate decline in your glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and it may not be necessary to modify your diet at this point unless you have been instructed to do so. If you are regulating your fluid intake, you have to count this as part of your fluid allowance. Besides, 8 ounce of coffee has 115mg of potassium if you are limit potassium. You can decide how much coffee to drink according to whether you have to monitor fluid or potassium intake. If caffeine is a problem, you can use decaffienated coffee.

Additionally, for those who have strong kidneys, they are likely free from kidney failure, even drinking a lot of coffee or soda, but for those who have weak kidneys, coffee is not allowed because coffee is loaded with potassium which is not allowed in kidney disease. This is because potassium rises quickly in the blood.
