Intradialytic Parenteral Nutrition

Intradialytic Parenteral Nutrition (IDPN) by Fresenius Kabi is a specialized nutritional support therapy administered to malnourished patients undergoing chronic hemodialysis. The therapy involves the intravenous infusion of a concentrated mixture of amino acids, carbohydrates (typically dextrose), and lipid emulsions directly into the venous drip chamber of the dialysis circuit during treatment sessions. This approach is designed to supplement the patient's oral or enteral intake, bypassing gastrointestinal absorption limitations and addressing protein-energy wasting (PEW), which is a significant contributor to morbidity and mortality in end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Fresenius Kabi provides both standardized multi-chamber bags and tailored compounded solutions containing essential macronutrients, vitamins, and trace elements specifically formulated for the metabolic needs of renal patients.
