ProRenal+D Kidney Health Multivitamin Tablets

Daily Kidney Multivitamin (No Fish Oil)

Nutrients Included

Calcium

Not all kidney patients need extra calcium. Therefore, calcium supplementation requirements should be determined individually, as advised by a physician. Supplementation can be beneficial for some patients by supporting heart health. People often take heart health vitamins and cholesterol supplements that contain calcium, but in kidney patients, calcium can cause kidney stones or dangerously high blood calcium levels (hypercalcemia).3 Excess calcium can lead to kidney stones when free calcium crystals fuse together and they cannot be easily excreted through the urine. Higher levels of calcium in the blood can sometimes lead to kidney damage, and severe levels can result in a permanent loss of kidney function.4 Always discuss your calcium regimen with your doctor.

Iron

Iron is essential for red blood cell formation and a decline in iron levels can cause anemia, or a low red blood cell count. Kidney patients, especially those who are on dialysis, cannot maintain adequate iron stores so they are at risk for developing anemia. To prevent anemia in kidney patients, the KDOQI Guidelines recommend regular iron supplementation to achieve target iron levels.7 A daily dose of iron in your multivitamin could be helpful for kidney and dialysis patients.

B-Complex Vitamins

B-Complex Vitamins – Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12 – are vitamins kidney patients may become deficient in and thus supplementation mey be required. The appropiate levels of supplementation are vital for kidney patients, as evidence suggests high dosses of B-complex vitamins may be potencially harmfull.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C in proper amounts may suppont overall health, but too much may lead to kidney stones.
