Ketosteril

L‑Lysine acetate, L‑tryptophan, L‑histidine, L‑threonine, L‑tyrosine, keto‑isoleucine calcium and other keto‑analogues, the active ingredients in Ketosteril, are an amino acid supplement presented as an oral formulation for oral use. It supports patients with chronic kidney disease, renal failure and those who require dietary protein restriction. GNH USA supplies Ketosteril as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, transplant centres, pharmacies and clinics worldwide.

Ketosteril is used in renal‑related conditions to provide essential amino acids while limiting nitrogen waste. - Chronic kidney disease: helps reduce nitrogen waste and supports protein metabolism. - Renal failure: aids in maintaining nutritional status during low‑protein diets. - Dietary protein restriction in impaired renal function: supplies keto‑analogues that are transaminated to essential amino acids, reducing accumulation of waste products.

Ketosteril is generally well tolerated, but adverse reactions can occur.

Common Side Effects: - Nausea - Vomiting - Loss of appetite - Abdominal discomfort - Mild headache - Metallic taste in the mouth

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Hyperkalemia - Metabolic acidosis - Allergic reactions such as rash or angioedema - Hepatic dysfunction - Severe electrolyte imbalance - Anaphylactic shock

Ketosteril should be used with careful monitoring in specific clinical situations. - Renal function monitoring: assess serum creatinine and urea regularly. - Electrolyte balance: check potassium, sodium and phosphate levels. - Protein intake adjustment: coordinate with dietitian to ensure appropriate low‑protein diet. - Pregnancy safety: use only if clearly needed, as safety data are limited. - Pediatric use: prescribe only when benefits outweigh risks and under specialist supervision. - Store at ambient temperature: keep in the original pack, protect from moisture and light.

Ketosteril may interact with other medicines and supplements that affect renal function or electrolyte balance.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - High‑protein diet supplements: may counteract the intended nitrogen‑sparing effect. - Lithium: increased risk of lithium toxicity. - ACE inhibitors: potential for additive hyperkalemia. - Diuretics: may exacerbate electrolyte disturbances.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - NSAIDs: can impair renal function further. - Vitamin D analogues: monitor calcium and phosphate levels. - Calcium supplements: watch for hypercalcemia. - Oral potassium binders: adjust potassium monitoring.
