Medicine information
Uses & overview
KETORENAL ALPHA is a nutritional therapy product containing Alpha Ketoanalogue, intended for use as part of an individualized dietary management plan for certain patients with chronic kidney disease. Alpha-ketoanalogues are nitrogen-free analogues of essential amino acids. They can participate in the body's amino-acid metabolism while contributing less nitrogen than intact amino acids. They are commonly studied and used alongside protein-restricted diets in selected patients with CKD. Research has evaluated ketoanalogue-supplemented protein-restricted diets for outcomes such as kidney function, proteinuria, phosphorus levels and other metabolic parameters. Evidence suggests potential benefits in appropriately selected patients, although treatment should be individualized according to kidney function, nutritional status and other clinical factors. KETORENAL ALPHA should therefore be considered as part of a doctor- or renal-dietitian-supervised nutritional plan, rather than as a substitute for comprehensive chronic kidney disease care.
How to use
Use KETORENAL ALPHA only according to the treatment plan provided by a qualified healthcare professional. The appropriate nutritional regimen depends on factors such as kidney function, dietary protein intake, nutritional status and laboratory findings. Do not independently change your protein intake or nutritional supplementation without professional guidance.
Storage
Store KETORENAL ALPHA according to the conditions stated on the product packaging/approved label. Keep the product in its original packaging and away from excessive heat and moisture. Keep out of reach of children.
