Ketosteril is a drug used for people with protein metabolism disorders when suffering from chronic kidney disease. This drug is also used in the treatment of malnutrition or protein deficiency due to diet. So what is ketosteril?
1. What is Ketosteril?
Ketosteril is a drug that regulates protein metabolism in the body, helping to limit the progression of kidney failure to the end stage. It also helps prevent other causes of chronic kidney failure.

2. What disease does ketosteril treat?
Ketosteril is used to prevent and preserve patients with chronic renal failure with a glomerular filtration rate of 5-15 ml/min. The drug is used in combination with a restricted protein diet (protein intake 40g per day in adults or less)
The drug helps to relieve symptoms caused by uremia, reduce proteinuria, prevent protein breakdown of the body, correcting disorders of calcium-phosphate metabolism, hyperparathyroidism and renal osteoporosis, helping to improve carbohydrate metabolism disorders, lipid metabolism, and endocrine disorders.
Ketosteril allows the body to take in essential amino acids while minimizing nitrogen-nitrogen intake. Once absorbed into the body, the keto- and hydroxy analogues will be converted to essential amino acids by taking nitrogen from the non-essential amino acids, thereby reducing urea formation by using amine group.
Therefore, the accumulation of uraemia toxins is reduced. Keto and hydroxy acids do not induce ultrafiltration in the remaining nephrons. Ketosteril contains a supplement that promotes a positive effect on renal hyperphosphatemia and secondary hyperparathyroidism.
Furthermore, renal osteodystrophy may be improved with the use of Ketosteril. The use of Ketosteril in combination with a very low protein diet reduces nitrogen intake to prevent serious consequences of protein supplementation in patients with renal failure.
How to use Ketosteril:
Use Ketosteril as prescribed by your doctor. Do not arbitrarily increase, decrease the dose or prolong the time of using Ketosteril compared to the indicated. Take Ketosteril tablets with food, do not chew the medicine. During the use of Ketosteril drug, it is necessary to monitor the amount of protein taken into the body. Before dialysis, protein intake should not exceed 40g/day for adults; for children from 3-10 years old: 1.4-0.8g/kg; for children 10 years and older: 1-0.6g/kg.. You should consult your doctor during dialysis.

3. Side effects and contraindications of the drug ketosteril
Ketosteril can cause hypercalcemia side effects. The drug ketosteril is contraindicated in cases of hypersensitivity to the components of the drug; people with hypercalcemia, amino acid metabolism disorders.
Caution when using ketosteril drug in the following cases:
Caution when using ketosteril drug for pregnant and lactating women. Are being treated with other drugs or supplements. For the elderly and children. People with a history of hereditary phenylketonuria.
4. Ketosteril drug interactions
Concomitant administration of Ketosteril with other calcium-containing medicinal products may result in an excessive increase in serum calcium. Because Ketosteril improves symptoms of uremia, aluminum hydroxide should be reduced. Attention should be paid to the reduction of serum phosphate.
To prevent drug interactions, you need to avoid using Ketosteril with drugs that reduce calcium solubility (such as tetracycline).
