What is Valine, Alanine, Arginine, Histidine, Isoleucine, Leucine, Methionine, Phenylalanine, Proline, Serin?

Valine, Alanine, Arginine, Histidine, Isoleucine, Leucine, Methionine, Phenylalanine, Proline, Serin, the active ingredients in Kabiven Peripheral, are a parenteral nutrition solution presented as an intravenous solution for intravenous use. It provides essential amino acids to patients who cannot receive enteral feeding.

GNH USA supplies Kabiven Peripheral as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, transplant centres and intensive‑care units worldwide.

What is Valine, Alanine, Arginine, Histidine, Isoleucine, Leucine, Methionine, Phenylalanine, Proline, Serin used for?

Kabiven Peripheral is used in parenteral nutrition to support protein and nitrogen balance in patients unable to receive enteral feeding. - Parenteral nutrition: Provides essential amino acids for patients who cannot receive enteral feeding. - Surgical patients: Helps maintain protein synthesis and nitrogen balance during the peri‑operative period. - Critically ill patients: Supports metabolic needs and prevents catabolism in intensive‑care settings.

What are the side effects of Valine, Alanine, Arginine, Histidine, Isoleucine, Leucine, Methionine, Phenylalanine, Proline, Serin?

Common Side Effects: - Hyperglycemia: Elevated blood glucose levels during infusion. - Electrolyte imbalance: Changes in serum potassium, sodium or calcium. - Infusion site reactions: Redness, pain or swelling at the catheter site. - Mild nausea: Transient feeling of nausea during or after infusion. - Fever: Low‑grade temperature rise. - Increased blood urea nitrogen: Indicative of protein metabolism.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Anaphylactic reaction: Severe allergic response requiring immediate medical attention. - Metabolic acidosis: Significant drop in blood pH. - Severe hypernatremia: Critically high sodium levels. - Hepatic dysfunction: Abnormal liver enzyme elevations.

What precautions apply to Valine, Alanine, Arginine, Histidine, Isoleucine, Leucine, Methionine, Phenylalanine, Proline, Serin?

Kabiven Peripheral should be used with careful clinical monitoring. - Renal impairment: Monitor renal function and adjust infusion rate. - Liver disease: Assess hepatic function before initiation. - Electrolyte disturbances: Check serum electrolytes regularly. - Hyperglycemia risk: Monitor blood glucose levels during therapy. - Pregnancy and lactation: Use only if potential benefit outweighs risk. - Store at 2‑8°C: Keep refrigerated, protect from light, do not freeze.

What does Valine, Alanine, Arginine, Histidine, Isoleucine, Leucine, Methionine, Phenylalanine, Proline, Serin interact with?

Kabiven Peripheral may interact with other intravenous therapies. Major Interactions (Avoid): - Concurrent high‑dose amino acid solutions: Risk of amino acid overload. - Calcium‑containing IV solutions: May precipitate when mixed. Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Loop diuretics: May increase electrolyte loss. - Insulin therapy: May require dose adjustment due to glucose changes. - Renal replacement therapy: May affect amino acid clearance.

Frequently asked questions

What is Kabiven Peripheral used for?+
Kabiven Peripheral is an intravenous amino acid solution used as part of parenteral nutrition. It supplies essential amino acids to patients who cannot receive nutrition through the gastrointestinal tract, helping to maintain protein synthesis, nitrogen balance, and overall metabolic stability.
How does the amino acid mixture in Kabiven Peripheral work?+
The mixture provides the nine essential amino acids required for protein synthesis. Delivered directly into the bloodstream, these amino acids become building blocks for new proteins, support tissue repair, and help preserve lean body mass while maintaining nitrogen equilibrium in patients receiving total parenteral nutrition.
What is the usual dose of Kabiven Peripheral?+
The dose is individualized and set by the prescribing clinician based on the patient’s weight, clinical condition, nitrogen requirements, and laboratory values. Healthcare professionals calculate the appropriate volume and infusion rate to meet each patient’s specific nutritional needs.
Is Kabiven Peripheral safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Safety data in pregnancy and lactation are limited. Kabiven Peripheral should be used only if the potential benefit to the mother outweighs any possible risk to the fetus or infant, and the decision should be made by a qualified healthcare provider.
How do I order Kabiven Peripheral from GNH USA?+
To place an order, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnh-usa.com with the required quantity. GNH USA supplies hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details (including cold‑chain where required) and necessary import documentation.
How does Kabiven Peripheral compare with other parenteral amino acid solutions?+
Kabiven Peripheral offers a balanced profile of essential amino acids comparable to other commercial parenteral amino acid formulations. Differences among products may include concentration, osmolarity, and specific amino‑acid ratios, which can affect compatibility with other IV fluids and the choice of infusion site.
What are the storage and handling requirements for Kabiven Peripheral?+
Store Kabiven Peripheral at 2‑8 °C, protected from light. Do not freeze or shake the container. Keep the solution in its original packaging until use and discard any product that appears discolored or has particulate matter.
How is Kabiven Peripheral administered?+
Kabiven Peripheral is administered intravenously, typically through a peripheral or central venous catheter. The solution may be diluted according to the manufacturer’s instructions, and the infusion rate is set by the clinician based on the patient’s prescribed daily amino‑acid requirement.
What are the most serious risks associated with Kabiven Peripheral?+
Serious risks include anaphylactic reactions, severe metabolic disturbances such as metabolic acidosis or hypernatremia, and hepatic dysfunction. Prompt recognition and medical intervention are essential if any of these severe adverse events occur.
Who should not use Kabiven Peripheral?+
Kabiven Peripheral should be avoided in patients with known hypersensitivity to any of its amino‑acid components, severe hepatic failure, uncontrolled metabolic disorders, or in situations where the risk of amino‑acid overload outweighs the nutritional benefit.
