The Renalive® Range

Nutritional Support Across CKD Stages 3 To 5

Whether your patients are reducing protein intake to protect kidney function or are facing increased protein needs due to dialysis, you’ll find a Renalive* formula that fits their needs.

Support Pre-Dialysis Nutrition

For pre-dialysis patients requiring protein restriction, Renalive LP offers a high energy density with low protein content to support nutritional intake without placing additional burden on the kidneys.^1-4

Support Dialysis Nutrition

The risk of protein-energy wasting (PEW) dramatically increases as the disease progresses.^1-5 Renalive HP offers a way to meet the increased protein needs of patients on dialysis.⁵

Coherence and Compliance

Available as a drink or tube feed, in four flavours across the range, patients can benefit from Renalive in a format that matches both their needs and preferences.

For CKD Patients, Nutrition is Crucial

Different stages of CKD call for radically different nutritional approaches, but with the Renalive range you can support these changing needs coherently.

Pre-Dialysis: A lower protein diet can help protect remaining kidney function for patients who haven’t moved to dialysis. Renalive LP offers complete nutrition with high energy, low protein and low electrolyte content.^1-4 Its modified carbohydrate profile supports glycemic control in renal patients.

Dialysis: PEW is one of the most common complications of CKD, associated with higher morbidity, mortality and poorer quality of life,^1-2. With Renalive HP, you can help dialysis patients meet their nutritional needs,with a complete formulation that is high in energy and protein and low in electrolytes.

Fresubin's Renalive range includes Renalive LP for pre-dialysis nutritional support and Renalive HP for patients on dialysis.

Renal-Specific Nutritional Support

Changes around protein needs are far from the only nutritional consideration you need to consider when caring for CKD patients.

Whether you’re offering the LP or HP variants, Renalive delivers:
• High energy density
• Low electrolyte content
• Adapted carbohydrate profile
• Fibre
• Omega-3 fatty acids
• Tailored vitamin profile
