摘要

The present invention can provide a nutrition composition useful for patients with renal diseases, which has an effective prophylactic or improving effect for various symptoms of malnutrition, inflammation, arteriosclerosis, abnormal lipid metabolism and oxidative stress, associated with renal diseases, or for diabetic nephropathy.;The nutrition composition of the present invention m contains one or more kinds of free amino acids selected from the group consisting of valine, leucine, isoleucine and histidine, and a lipid comprising ω-3 fatty acid and ω-6 fatty acid at a weight ratio (ω-6 fatty acid to ω-3 fatty acid) of 0.5-5.5. In addition, the composition further contains a soybean protein or a hydrolysate thereof together with the aforementioned lipid or instead of the aforementioned lipid.
