Kidney Function
- The kidneys remove waste products from the blood, regulate the blood's ionic concentrations, and keep essential particles in the blood.
- This is done with three basic mechanisms: filtration, reabsorption, and secretion.
- Kidneys can be effective in removing waste and regulating ions and electrolytes when at least ten percent of their function is maintained.
The condition of end stage renal disease
- End stage renal disease occurs when the kidneys are no longer able to function to excrete wastes, concentrate urine and regulate electrolytes at a level that is necessary for day to day life.
- Once chronic kidney failure approaches the stage where function is ten percent of normal kidney function dialysis and the consideration of whether a kidney transplant is appropriate must take place.
- End stage renal disease (ESRD) may be caused by kidney disease or kidney failure that may be caused by various disease states such as diabetes, and high blood pressure as well as reaction to a toxins.
- Kidney failure of more that 90% results in toxic waist build up in the blood and tissues, this results in a condition known as uremia. Without intervention uremia will eventually lead to death.

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.
