NUTRITIONAL FORMULATION FOR THE TREATMENT OF RENAL DISEASE

摘要

IMPROVED NUTRITIONAL FOMULATION FOR THE TREATMENT OF RENAL DISEASE A novel nutritional formulation comprising mixtures of mixed salts formed between branched-chain a-keto-acids and basic L-amino acids is disclosed which provides optimal nutrition when consumed with a very low protein diet. The composition of this invention contains fewer components than other mixtures utilized heretofore while maintaining like proportions of the essential and semi-essential amino acids. The composition of this invention has improved thermal stability and taste and is useful for the nutritional treatment of chronic renal failure (uremia).
