Active composition
Alpha Ketoanalogue provides a source of amino acids that helps reduce urea production and improves nitrogen balance in patients with kidney disease.
Medical applications
Ketosteril Tablet contains Alpha Ketoanalogue (NA), a specialized pharmaceutical agent used primarily as a dietary supplement in the management of chronic kidney disease (CKD). It serves as a source of essential amino acids in a ketoacid form, which, upon transamination in the body, helps to provide the necessary amino acids without increasing nitrogenous waste products. This unique mechanism aids in reducing the accumulation of uremic toxins and metabolic acidosis commonly associated with renal impairment.
Ketosteril is indicated for patients with moderate to severe CKD who require protein restriction to minimize nitrogen load while maintaining adequate nutritional status. It is often used adjunctively with a low-protein diet to slow the progression of renal dysfunction and delay the need for dialysis. The tablet should be administered under medical supervision, with dosage tailored according to the patient’s renal function, nutritional status, and dietary protein intake.
Ketosteril is generally well tolerated; however, monitoring for potential side effects such as gastrointestinal discomfort or electrolyte imbalances is recommended. It is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to any component of the formulation. Overall, Ketosteril Tablet is an essential therapeutic adjunct in the nutritional management of CKD, promoting metabolic balance and improving patient outcomes.
