TabletsClinical Overview
Alpha-Ketoanalogue and Essential Amino Acids is an oral nutritional therapy for chronic kidney disease (CKD). It provides keto-analogues of essential amino acids that undergo transamination in the body, taking up amino groups from circulating urea nitrogen and converting into essential amino acids without generating new urea nitrogen, reducing uremic toxins and slowing the decline of GFR in pre-dialysis renal disease. Indicated for prevention and therapy of damages due to faulty or deficient protein metabolism in chronic kidney disease in connection with limited dietary protein intake (<= 40 g/day).
