When you are on dialysis, your protein and calorie needs are higher. In fact, dialysis patients need about 50% more protein than normal. Even if you follow your dialysis diet very carefully, you may still have a hard time getting vital nutrition through food and dietary supplements alone.
Given as added nutritional therapy during dialysis, Proplete® provides your body with protein, a minimal amount of dextrose (a type of carbohydrate), and, for some patients, it may also contain lipids (a type of fat) for additional calories.
