ketosteril tablet

Ketosteril tablet is an oral supplement that provides the body with alpha-ketoanalogues and essential amino acids used for conservative treatment in CKD patients aimed at slowing down the progress of the disease, reducing the formation of uremic toxins, and preventing malnutrition with a restricted protein intake.

Active Components: Contains calcium ketoanalogues of leucine, isoleucine, phenylalanine, valine, and a hydroxyanalogue of methionine, in addition to such essential amino acids as L-lysine, L-threonine, L-tryptophan, L-histidine, and L-tyrosine.Nitrogen Utilization: These compounds do not increase.

the nitrogen load, instead making use of amino groups from non-essential amino acids to produce essential ones within the organism. This effectively decreases urea formation and accumulation of uremic toxins.Metabolism Improvement: It promotes improvement in carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, helps prevent secondary hyperparathyroidism, and affects positively renal osteodystrophy and phosphate metabolism.Prescription and Dosag.

Used mainly when the GFR is estimated to be between 5 to 15 mL/min.Dietary Complements: Does not substitute the protein-restriction diet but supplements it; thus, an adult patient should take this medication along with a very restricted protein diet (no more than 40 g per day).Intake Mode: Should be taken orally (without chewing) during meals in order to provide effective nitrogen assimilation; normally, the daily dose.
