Non-Dialysis Therapy for CKD with Ketosteril

Ketosteril is one important non-dialysis therapy for renal failure. At present there are many treatment options for chronic renal failure and in recent years, the use of ketosteril has been highly recommended by both both western and eastern scholars.

Ketosteril is mainly used for renal dysfunction patients. Along with low-protein diets, it can help prevent and treat metabolic disorders, reduce urea production, alleviate uremic states, provide amino acids without increasing nitrogen-related wastes and improve nutritional states.

At the same time of prescribing Ketosteril, nephrologists will also order low-protein diets. As one part of conservative therapy, very low protein diets (0.3g/kg/d) can have many benefits to chronic renal failure patients.

1. Alleviate the symptoms of uremia. This is because uremic symptoms are mainly caused by accumulation of protein-related metabolic wastes and toxins.

2. Protect residual kidney functions. Compared with amino acid supplement, ketosteril can further reduce nitrogen supply and increase calcium.

3. Nutrition guarantee. It can guarantee enough necessary nutritions to the patients at the same time of limiting protein intake in foods.

4. Improve metabolic complications due to renal dysfunction.

Many clinical researches have shown that very low protein diets along with ketosteril before dialysis can help alleviate the following complications.

Protein in urine

Metabolic disorder of calcium and phosphorus

Secondary hyperparathyroidism

Renal bone malnutrition

Metabolic disorder of carbohydrates and lipids

Endocrine dyscrasia

Weather low-protein diet is effective for chronic renal failure depends on the guarantee of necessary nutritions that the patients need such as essential amino acids and enough calories. In case of significant reduction of protein intake in daily diets, the supply of ketosteril can help avoid lack of essential amino acids.

Ketosteril contains all the amino acids that kidney failure patients need. Besides ketosteril can be used for dialysis patients to make up loss of amino acids during dialysis so as to prevent malnutrition due to protein decomposition. It can also functions as phosphorus binder so as to lower blood phosphorus level and parathyroid hormone.
