Amino Acid Ketoanalogues tablet is used to prevent and treat the damage caused by faulty or deficient protein metabolism in chronic kidney disease. It is given together with a limited dietary protein intake of 40 gm/day or less (for adults). This usually applies to patients whose glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is less than 25 ml/min.
Pharmacology
Amino Acid Ketoanalogues is a nutritional supplement that contains amino acids, some of them in the form of their matching ketoanalogues. These are essential for patients with chronic kidney disease. They follow the same catabolic pathways as amino acids and work by improving how the body handles protein, which in turn improves renal function. Amino Acid Ketoanalogues lets the body take in essential amino acids while keeping the intake of amino-nitrogen low.
The keto- and hydroxy-analogues are transaminated to the matching essential amino acids by taking nitrogen from non-essential amino acids. This reduces the formation of urea, because the amino group is used again, and it causes absorption to occur.

Adults:
Unless the doctor has prescribed something different, the usual dose of Amino Acid Ketoanalogues is 4 to 8 tablets, 3 times a day, taken during meals. This dose is for adults with a body weight of 70 kg. Swallow the tablets whole and don't chew them.
The food an adult eats should contain 40 g/day protein or less. Taking the tablets with meals helps the body absorb them properly and turn them into the matching amino acids. The tablets are given as long as the GFR is between 5 and about 25mL/minute.
Side Effects
Hypercalcaemia is a very rare side effect of Amino Acid Ketoanalogues. If it happens, the intake of vitamin D should be reduced. If the hypercalcaemia keeps going, the dose of Amino Acid Ketoanalogues has to be reduced, and so does the intake of any other calcium sources.
