Maintain positive lab values
Dear Emmanuel,
You know how important it is to try to meet your lab test goals when you go to dialysis. Your levels of albumin, potassium, and phosphorus are a reflection of your health and well-being.
A good reason to take Nepro® with Carb Steady®
Drinking Nepro with Carb Steady at least 3 times a week has been shown to help improve albumin values. And a good albumin lab value can help you feel better.
Nepro provides the nutritional balance your body needs
Designed for people on dialysis, Nepro delivers the calories and nutrients recommended for a dialysis diet.
| • |
Nepro is high in protein, which helps raise albumin levels. Albumin indicates your overall nutritional well-being. With the right amount of albumin in your blood, you can avoid risk for health complications like infections, weakness, and fatigue.
|
| • |
Nepro is low in potassium, a mineral found in many fruits and vegetables. Too much potassium in the blood can lead to problems with your heart and muscles. Kidney health care professionals recommend potassium levels of 3.5 to 6.0 mEg/L for people on dialysis.
|
| • |
Nepro is low in phosphorus, a mineral that can lead to bone and heart problems if too much of it remains in the blood. Kidney health care professionals recommend phosphorus levels of 3.5 to 5.5 mg/dL for people on dialysis. |
Test your knowledge of lab values
Take the Nepro quiz. The quiz is also a good way to help explain to friends and family how important it is to maintain positive lab results when you go to dialysis.
Make every day count,
