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.
