Renolog is a high-precision nutritional supplement specifically engineered for the management of patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). It contains a specialized complex of Alpha-Ketoanalogues (essential amino acids in their keto-form). It works by utilizing the "nitrogen-reuse" mechanism; the ketoanalogues absorb nitrogen from the waste products in the blood (like urea) and convert them into functional amino acids. This process effectively reduces the workload on the kidneys, lowers the level of toxic uremic waste, and helps maintain nutritional status without the high protein intake that can further damage weakened kidneys.

Renolog is a primary clinical choice for renal preservation and uremia management:
CKD Management: Slowing the progression of Chronic Kidney Disease in patients on a Protein-Restricted Diet.
Uremia Reduction: Lowering the buildup of nitrogenous waste products (BUN and Creatinine) in the blood.
Metabolic Balance: Correcting protein and mineral metabolism disturbances common in kidney failure.
Dialysis Delay: Helping to postpone the start of dialysis by maintaining kidney function for a longer period.
Nutritional Support: Preventing malnutrition (muscle wasting) in patients who must strictly limit their dietary protein intake.
Hypercalcemia: Renolog contains calcium salts. It can lead to high calcium levels in the blood (Hypercalcemia). Seek medical advice if you experience constipation, muscle weakness, or unusual thirst. Protein-Restricted Diet: Renolog is only fully effective when used alongside a Low-Protein Diet (usually $< 40\text{g}$ per day). Taking it while eating high amounts of meat or beans will reduce its therapeutic benefit. Medication Spacing: Do not take Renolog at the same time as certain antibiotics (like Ciprofloxacin) or Iron supplements, as it can block their absorption. Monitoring: Regular blood tests to monitor Calcium, Phosphate, and Creatinine levels are mandatory while on this therapy.
For maximum efficacy, Renolog must be taken during meals to ensure the ketoanalogues are available to process the nitrogen from your dietary intake.
Standard Dosage:
Adults (70kg): Typically 4 to 8 tablets taken three times daily (with meals). The exact dose is strictly determined by your body weight and CKD stage.
Application Tips:
Take During Meals: Swallow the tablets during your breakfast, lunch, and dinner. This allows the medication to work directly on the nitrogen released during digestion.
Swallow Whole: Do not crush or chew the tablets.
Consistency: Take the doses at the same time every day to maintain a steady metabolic state.
Hydration: Follow your doctor’s specific fluid intake guidelines strictly; do not over-hydrate or under-hydrate without medical advice.
The most common side effect is an increase in blood calcium levels (hypercalcemia). Some patients may experience mild nausea or stomach discomfort. If you notice signs of high calcium (confusion, vomiting, or heart rhythm changes), contact Sanlive Pharmacy or your nephrologist immediately.
Store in a cool, dry place below 30°C, protected from moisture and direct sunlight. Keep the tablets in their original blister packaging until the moment of use. Keep out of reach of children.
Q: Is it a "Cure" for kidney disease?
A: No. It is a management therapy designed to preserve your remaining kidney function and improve your quality of life. It does not "fix" the underlying damage but slows further decline.
Q: Why do I have to take "So Many" tablets?
A: Because Renolog provides the essential building blocks your body needs to replace dietary protein, the volume required is higher than standard medication.
Q: Can I take it with "Milk"?
A: Consult your doctor. Since Renolog contains calcium, taking it with high-calcium dairy could increase your risk of hypercalcemia.
Q: What if I "Miss a Dose"?
A: Take it with your next meal. Do not double the dose to catch up.
