Ketosteril 600 mg x 100 tabs

Generic Name : Ketoanalogues & essential amino acids (Ketoanalogues & essential amino acids)
Brand Name : Ketosteril
Manufacturer : Fresenius Kabi

Indications:

Prevention & therapy of damages due to faulty or deficient protein metabolism in chronic renal insufficiency in connection w/ limited protein in food.

Ketosteril Used to prevent or treat protein deficiency in patients with kidney disease must limit the amount of protein from the diet. (The main component. Amino acids that are essential to the nitrogen and calcium).

Ketosteril allows the intake of essential amino acids while minimising the amino-nitrogen intake.
Following ingestion the keto-analogues are transaminated by taking nitrogen from non-essential amino acids, thereby decreasing the formation of urea by re-using the amino group. The levels of accumulating uremic toxins are decreased. Keto- and/or hydroxy-acids do not elicit hyperfiltration of residual nephrons. Ketoacid-containing supplements have a positive influence on the renal hyperphosphatemia and secondary hyperparathyroidism and can improve renal osteodystrophy. The use of Ketosteril in association with a very low protein diet allows a reduced intake of nitrogen while avoiding the deleterious consequences of inadequate dietary protein intake and malnourishment.
