10. Dosage & Administration
| Nutritional Guidelines | Protein | Energy |
| Guidelines for Stable Maintenance Haemodialysis Patients | 1.2 g/kg/day of which at least 50% should be High Biological Value (HBV). | 35 kcal/kg for < 60 years and 30‐35 kcal/kg for > 60 years. |
| Guidelines for Adult Peritoneal Dialysis Patients | 1.2 g‐1.3 g/kg/day of which at least 50% should be High Biological Value (HBV). | 35 kcal/kg for < 60 years and 30‐35 kcal/kg for > 60 years. |
1) 1.2 g of protein/kg body weight/day for Haemodialysis Patients of which 50% should be of High Biological Value.
2) 1.3 g of protein/kg body weight/day for Peritoneal Dialysis Patients of which 50% should be of High Biological Value.
Following the guidelines, a patient weighing 60 kg would require 72 g of protein of which 36 g (50%) has to be of High Biological Value. So for that particular patient, 3 sachets of Renuris will provide an equivalent amount of High Biological Protein.
Oral Feeding: Renuris is an easy to prepare diet supplement with minimal level of flavoring when reconstituted with water. Renuris is formulated for use as total or supplemental nutrition.
Tube Feeding: Follow the physician’s instructions. Use a shaker or a suitable closed container for preparation. Pour 40 mL water at room temperature into the container. Add contents of 1 Renuris packet into water. Stir or shake if using covered container till powder dissolves. The condition of the patient should be considered when determining the proper flow rate, volume and dilution to achieve optimum patient tolerance.
Instructions For Use
- Take 40 mL of previously boiled and cooled water in a suitable container (Approx. 150 mL capacity).
- Tear off top of the packet and empty content into water.
- Stir briefly until the powder has dissolved. There is no need to chill or add ice unless desired. Use the contents once reconstituted in water and discard any unused portion.
Recommended use (as per pack): Consume two servings daily. Not to exceed the recommended daily usage. This product should not be used as a substitute for a varied diet. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.
11. Overdosage
No data available.
12. Storage
Store in a cool & dry place away from sunlight. Store out of reach of children.
Additional Information
Benefits of Whey Protein over Soy Protein
| Criteria | Soy Protein | Whey Protein | Selection |
| Biological Value | 74 | 104 | Higher the BV, better the protein. |
| Net Protein Utilization (NPU) | 61 | 92 | Higher ratio of protein consumed, better the protein. |
| Protein Efficiency Ratio (PER) | 2.2 | 3.2 | Protein having 2.7 PER is considered an excellent source of protein. |
| Amino Acid Score (AAS) | 0.99 | 1.14 | Higher the score and so the absorption. |
| Protein Digestibility Percentage (PD%) | 95% | 99% | Better Digestibility with high percentages. |
