Ketosteril

🧾 Product Overview Table

🧬 Introduction: What is Ketosteril?
Ketosteril is a pharmaceutical formulation of essential amino acid analogues, specifically alpha-ketoanalogues. It is commonly prescribed as dietary supplementation for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), particularly those on a low-protein diet. By supplementing amino acids without increasing the nitrogen burden, Ketosteril helps reduce the formation of toxic metabolic waste products in the body.

This nutritional therapy is vital in delaying the progression of renal failure and improving nutritional status. Its use is clinically endorsed for individuals with stages 3–5 of CKD. Ketosteril helps prevent the causes of chronic kidney disease.

The components of Ketosteril include:

• Isoleucine 67mg
• Phenylalanine 68mg
• Leucine 101mg
• Valine 86mg
• L-lysine 105mg
• Methionine 59mg
• L-tryptophan 23mg
• L-threonine 53mg
• L-tyrosine 30mg
• L-histidine 38mg

👩‍⚕️ Doctor’s Expert Commentary
Dr. Manisha Kapoor, Nephrologist:
“Ketosteril plays a crucial role in the conservative management of CKD patients. It supports essential amino acid intake without burdening the kidneys. Combined with a protein-restricted diet, it significantly helps postpone dialysis in early-stage CKD.”
