Features
- Amino Acid
- Ketoanalogues
Description
Indications/Uses
Dosage/Direction for Use
Ketoanalogues of essential amino acids tablets are given as long as GFR is between 5 and 50 mL/minute. Simultaneously food should contain 40 g/day protein or less (adults). Therapy should be prescribed by a physician experience in the management of chronic renal disease.
Liver Disease/Renal Impairment: No dosage adjustment is necessary.
The tablets should be taken in the order of succession stated on the package everyday at about regularly the same time of the day or as prescribed by the physician.
Overdosage
Treatment is purely symptomatic. There is no specific antidote to Ketoanalogues of essential amino acids.
Contraindications
Severe liver diseases and hepatic coma.
Metabolic disorders associated with impaired nitrogen utilization.
Hypercalcemia, disturbed amino acid metabolism.
Warnings
Special Precautions
Safe, effective use of nutrition in chronic renal diseases requires knowledge of nutrition as well as clinical expertise in recognition and treatment of complications which can occur.
Regular evaluation of the serum calcium level and laboratory determinations are necessary for proper monitoring of patients undergoing treatment with Ketoanalogues of essential amino acids.
Objective therapy is intended to provide nutritional support for a limited period of time. If a patient requires an extended period of nutritional support, parenteral regimens should include non-protein calories adequate for weight maintenance.
Use In Pregnancy & Lactation
Adverse Reactions
Generalized flushing, fever and nausea have been reported in the literature during the administration of amino acids.
At the beginning of therapy, fever, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea and fatigue may occur, those reactions are usually mild and disappear within a few weeks even if treatment is continued.
Drug Interactions
Simultaneously administration of medicaments containing calcium may lead to pathological increase of serum calcium level or intensification. In order not to interfere with absorption, do not take drugs together with Ketoanalogues that come from sparingly soluble compounds with calcium (e.g. tetracycline).
Storage
Store in a dry place and protect from light.
Action
Ketoanalogues of essential amino acids allow the intake of essential amino acids while minimizing the amino nitrogen intake.
Pharmacodynamics: Renoguard tablets are administered for nutrition therapy in chronic kidney disease.
Renoguard allows the intake of essential amino acids while minimizing amino-nitrogen intake.
Following absorption, the keto- and hydroxy-analogues are transaminated to the corresponding essential amino acids by taking nitrogen from non-essential amino acids, thereby decreasing the formation of urea by re-using the amino group. Hence, the accumulation of uraemic toxins is reduced. Keto and hydroxy acids do not induce hyperfiltration of the residual nephrons. Ketoacid containing supplements exert a positive effect on renal hyperphosphataemia and secondary hyperparathyroidism. Moreover, renal osteodystrophy may be improved. The use of Renoguard in combination with a very low protein diet allows to reduce nitrogen intake while preventing the deleterious consequences of inadequate dietary protein intake and malnutrition.
Pharmacokinetics: The plasma kinetics of amino acids and their integration in metabolic pathways are well established. It should nevertheless be noted that in uremic patients, the plasma disturbances do not seem to depend on digestive amino acid intake, and that the post-absorptive kinetics seems to be disturbed very early in the development of the disease.
