Impact on Patients
- In End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) the patient may not get the nutrition needed due to altered taste,
anorexia, nausea and an unpalatable diet.
- Protein and calorie malnutrition is a problem in many ESRD patients.
- This malnutrition is one of the strongest predictors of morbidity and mortality.
- Patients with low serum albumin levels are at risk for malnutrition.
- Patients may have difficulty finding foods that supply high quality protein that allows their body to maintain itself while limiting the amount of urea that is formed.
Potential Demand for Albumax
- Albumax supplies only the highest quality whey protein isolate along with two nutritional substances known to be beneficial to dialysis patients, L-carnitine and Arginine, in a powder form. Albumax may be mixed with or sprinkled on other foods. Albumax will not raise the fluid intake of the patient and will not add anything to the patient's diet that may be inappropriate for that patient.
- Albumax contains calcium caseinate which contains enough calcium to bind the phosphorus content in Albumax in addition to being a second source of protein.
- Current nutritional supplements either are not designed specifically with the dialysis patient in mind or do not contain the amount of high quality whey protein isolate per dose that is in Albumax.
