Nepro® (Abbott) – Renal Therapeutic Nutrition
Nepro® is a therapeutic liquid nutrition formula specifically designed to help meet the complex nutritional requirements of adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD), particularly those on dialysis or those needing supplemental or sole-source nutrition under medical supervision. Nepro®’s carefully balanced nutrient profile helps replace protein and calories lost during dialysis, support energy needs, and manage mineral intake, making it suitable for both oral and tube feeding use.
Nepro® with CARBSTEADY® includes a specialized carbohydrate blend that helps minimise blood glucose response compared with high-glycemic alternatives, while its potassium and phosphorus levels are adapted to the needs of kidney disease patients. Each serving is an excellent source of high-quality protein and provides calories at approximately 1.8 Cal/mL, helping support overall nutrition and maintain muscle mass.
Nepro® nutrition products are kosher, halal, gluten-free and suitable for lactose intolerance, offering flexibility for varied dietary needs. They are widely used in clinical, aged care and home settings as part of comprehensive nutritional care plans for people living with advanced kidney disease.
