Commitment To Patients, Innovation & Renal
Nutrition
 In
Pentec Health’s continued efforts to improve our ability to meet renal
nutrition needs of the dialysis community, we have developed a line of
formulations that address the distinct differences between nutritional
needs of those patients who exhibit protein malnutrition and those
patients who exhibit calorie malnutrition. This approach maximizes
patient responsiveness to therapy and significantly improves tolerance.
We offer a line of formulas called: PROPLETE®, PROPLETE® PLUS and
PROPLETE® IPN
What is IDPN?
IDPN (Intradialytic Parenteral Nutrition) is a solution of amino acids,
dextrose and, if needed, lipids administered through the dialysis
machine directly into the bloodstream while a patient is receiving
dialysis. The therapy provides 100 percent of the patient’s weekly
protein needs* and additional calories. Each formula is tailored to the
patient’s specific needs.
What is IPN?
IPN (Intraperitoneal Parenteral Nutrition) is a solution made up of
amino acids and dextrose that is placed directly into a patient's
peritoneal cavity. The solution providesadded protein necessary to
minimize the patient's loss of protein through dialysis and to help
achieve nitrogen balance. IPN therapy is usually administered at home as
a replacement for one of the patient’s exchange bags.
