1. What is AMINOMEL NEPHRO and what is it used for
AMINOMEL NEPHRO is a solution of amino acids without sugars. It is administered to the patient by intravenous infusion, which is a method of delivering nutrients to the body.
The medicine may be used in the following situations:
- in case of acute or chronic kidney failure;
- during treatment aimed at removing metabolic products from the body through so-called artificial filtration, which is used in the treatment of kidney failure (hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis or hemofiltration).
As a general rule, AMINOMEL NEPHRO should always be administered together with solutions that contain sugars,
to ensure an adequate amount of energy, electrolytes, vitamins, and microelements.

Information intended only for healthcare professionals:
Before starting the infusion, it is necessary to correct conditions such as severe water-electrolyte disturbances, significant fluid overload, and severe metabolic disorders.
Refeeding syndrome
Refeeding of severely malnourished patients may cause the occurrence of refeeding syndrome, which is characterized by a shift of potassium, phosphates, and magnesium into the cells, as anabolic processes begin to predominate in the patient. Thiamine deficiency and fluid retention may also occur. These complications can be prevented by carefully monitoring and gradually increasing the supply of nutrients, avoiding overfeeding the patient.
If the supply of nutrients is not adequate to the patient's needs or the metabolic capacity of any of the administered nutrients is not accurately assessed, metabolic disorders may occur. Metabolic side effects may result from the administration of too small or too large an amount of nutrients or from an inappropriate composition of the added substances. The composition of the AMINOMEL NEPHRO solution was designed with consideration of amino acid disturbances in patients with chronic and acute kidney failure. If the product is used contrary to the indications, amino acid balance disorders may occur.
Instructions for use
Medicinal products for parenteral administration should be visually inspected before administration for the presence of visible particles and color change.
When using all solutions for parenteral administration, it is recommended to use a final filter.
If other substances are added to AMINOMEL NEPHRO, the following should be observed:
- aseptic rules should be followed;
- it should be ensured that the stability and compatibility of the components will be maintained;
- AMINOMEL NEPHRO and the added substances should be thoroughly mixed;
- the solution should be visually inspected for any change in color or the presence of visible particles;
- the container should be checked for leakage;
- proper storage conditions should be ensured after adding the substances.
Infusion administration:
- No partially used infusion should be reconnected.
- To avoid air embolism, containers should not be connected in series, as the first container may contain residual air.
Incompatibilities with other medicines
Added substances may exhibit incompatibilities.
Antibiotics or steroids should not be added to AMINOMEL NEPHRO.
No other medicinal products or substances should be added without prior confirmation of their compatibility and stability of the resulting mixture.
Excessive addition of calcium and phosphates increases the risk of calcium phosphate precipitation.
