LAMINO NEPHRO7% 1

About

Lamino Nephro 7% is a specialized intravenous amino acid solution formulated for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) or acute kidney injury (AKI) who require parenteral nutrition. This solution provides a balanced profile of essential and non-essential amino acids, specifically tailored to the metabolic needs of renal patients. The 7% concentration indicates a significant supply of amino acids, crucial for protein synthesis, tissue repair, and preventing muscle wasting, which is common in kidney disease due to altered protein metabolism and dietary restrictions. Its formulation is designed to minimize the burden on compromised kidneys by providing amino acids in a form that is readily utilized, while being low in electrolytes that are often restricted in renal diets. It helps maintain nitrogen balance and supports overall nutritional status, contributing to improved patient outcomes.
