KETOPAL AMINOS TAB 10S

About

KETOPAL AMINOS TAB is a highly specialized nutritional therapeutic agent specifically formulated for the management of chronic kidney disease (CKD), particularly in patients adhering to a very low-protein diet. This medication comprises keto-analogues of essential amino acids, which are unique compounds that lack the nitrogenous amino group. Upon ingestion, these keto-analogues are metabolically converted into their corresponding essential amino acids by utilizing nitrogen derived from non-essential amino acids and urea within the body. This ingenious process effectively recycles nitrogenous waste, thereby significantly reducing the overall nitrogen load that the compromised kidneys must excret.

The primary goal of KETOPAL AMINOS TAB is to provide essential building blocks for protein synthesis, preventing protein-energy wasting and malnutrition, which are common complications in advanced CKD, without imposing additional strain on renal function. This approach helps to slow the progression of kidney disease, improve metabolic parameters, and maintain the nutritional status of patients, ultimately enhancing their prognosis and well-being.
