Chronic kidney disease, also called chronic kidney failure, is characterized by the gradual loss of kidney function. The main function of kidney is to filter wastes and remove excess fluids from the blood, which are then secreted in the urine. The early stages of Chronic kidney disease is marked by few symptoms that includes poor appetite, swollen feet and ankles, muscle cramping at night, puffiness around eyes especially in morning and frequent urination at night. Chronic kidney disease may not become apparent until the kidney function is significantly impaired. Treatment for chronic kidney disease focuses on slowing the progression of the kidney damage, usually by controlling the underlying cause. Chronic kidney disease can progress to end-stage kidney failure, which is fatal without artificial filtering (dialysis) or a kidney transplant. The nutritional management of the chronic kidney disease aims at restriction of protein, fluids and electrolyte intake.
Renopro – a product that fulfils the above requirements and meets the needs of patients.
Reno-pro is a balanced nutritional supplement formulated exclusively to meet the needs of chronic kidney disease stage (1-4), Pre-dialysis patients and acute renal failure patients.Nutritionally complete, this renal supplement is rich in calories and low in proteins and electrolytes.
Reno-pro contains:
- Protein: High biological value protein. Low protein levels in Reno-pro decreases protein load on Kidneys thereby preventing further damage to the glomerular apparatus, reduces the production of ammonia in the Kidney and circulation of toxic by-products of protein metabolism in the Kidney.
- Electrolytes: Low Electrolyte Content in Reno-pro reduces edema, controls blood pressue and also reduces the risk of CV complications due to hyperkalemia.
- L- Carnitine: – Significantly reduces the pre-dialysis concentration of serum urea nitrogen, creatinine and phosphorus.
- Vitamins and minerals: Meets daily requirements
