Designed for Life With Chronic Kidney Disease

CKD can affect your appetite, energy and strength, and your nutritional needs may change as your condition progresses or if you start dialysis1-5. Symptoms like nausea, fatigue and loss of appetite can make eating enough even harder.

The Renalive range* is designed for people living with CKD, with options that reflect different nutritional needs at different stages of your treatment. By getting the right nutrition, you can focus on what really matters in life6.

Finding the Right Option for Your Situation

The Renalive range provides tailored options for you depending on your treatment needs. 

If you are on dialysis Renalive HP provides high energy (400 kcal) and high protein (20 g per 200 ml) to help support the increased demands on your body associated with dialysis.

If you are not on dialysis, or on a low-protein dietary plan, Renalive LP supports your energy intake while maintaining a low-protein approach. 

Your healthcare team will help you choose what is best for you.

Flavours That Make It Easier to Stay on Track

CKD and its treatment can change the way things taste, making it harder to stick to a nutrition routine. Having a choice of flavour can make a real difference to how easy it is to keep going.

Renalive HP is refreshing and well balanced**, with Lemon Yoghurt and Fruits of the Forest flavours. Renalive LP is available in Cappuccino and Vanilla.

Availability may vary by region.

Fresubin's Renalive range includes Renalive LP in Cappuccino and Vanilla flavours, as well as Renalive HP in Fruits of the Forest and Lemon Yoghurt flavours.

Formats to Fit Your Everyday Life

Available in a ready-to-drink (200 ml) bottle, Renalive HP and LP are convenient with no preparation needed and best served chilled. Small enough to fit into a busy day, whether you are at home, at a dialysis appointment or on the go.

Where oral intake is not possible or sufficient, Fresubin RENAL Tube Feed is also available to help you meet your nutritional needs.

Renalive HP delivers high energy in a compact 200ml bottle, helpful for when appetite is low. The Renalive range is also tailored for dialysis-related nutritional needs with reduced sodium, potassium and phosphorus, which are key minerals to monitor with CKD. It is easy to include Renalive in daily life as no preparation is needed thanks to the ready-to-drink format that is best served chilled.

*Renalive ® products are food for special medical purposes, to be used under medical supervision. For the dietary management of patients with or at risk of disease-related malnutrition, in particular with chronic kidney disease or non-catabolic forms of acute kidney injury.
