Ketoadd Tablet

About

Ketoadd Tablet is a nutritional supplement primarily used in the management of chronic kidney disease (CKD). It contains keto-analogues of essential amino acids, which are crucial for protein synthesis but without the nitrogen load. This formulation helps to reduce the accumulation of uremic toxins in the body, thereby alleviating symptoms associated with kidney failure. By providing essential building blocks for proteins, it supports the nutritional status of patients on a low-protein diet, which is often recommended for CKD. This approach helps to slow down the progression of kidney disease and may delay the need for dialysis, improving the overall quality of life for patients.

The tablet works by utilizing the body's nitrogen waste to convert keto-analogues into their corresponding amino acids, effectively recycling nitrogen and reducing the burden on the kidneys. This mechanism helps maintain a positive nitrogen balance while minimizing the intake of dietary protein, which can otherwise exacerbate kidney damage. Regular use, under medical supervision, contributes to better metabolic control and preserves residual kidney function.
