KETOGRACE RENO

About

KETOGRACE RENO is a specialized nutritional supplement containing alpha-keto analogues of essential amino acids. It is primarily used in the management of chronic kidney disease (CKD), particularly in patients on a low-protein diet who are not yet on dialysis. The alpha-keto analogues are converted into essential amino acids in the body, utilizing nitrogenous waste products. This process helps to reduce the burden on the kidneys by lowering urea and other metabolic waste products, thereby slowing the progression of kidney disease.

By providing essential amino acids without contributing to the nitrogen load, KETOGRACE RENO helps to maintain nutritional status, prevent protein-energy wasting, and improve metabolic parameters in CKD patients. It allows for a restricted protein intake while ensuring the body receives necessary building blocks, which is crucial for preserving kidney function and delaying the need for dialysis. This therapeutic approach aims to improve the quality of life for individuals living with chronic kidney disease.

Uses

• Management of chronic kidney disease (CKD)
• Support for patients on low-protein diets
