Dialysis Clinics
Pentec Health is the undisputed leader in clinical nutrition therapies and support services for Intradialytic Parenteral Nutrition (IDPN) and Intraperitoneal Nutrition (IPN) patients on dialysis.
We are a trusted partner for providers and dialysis clinics, who rely on our deep understanding of the nutritional needs of dialysis patients. As a champion for patients, we pioneered the nutrition treatment paradigm shift 15 years ago that benefits patients and their nursing teams to this day.
IDPN and IPN Therapy
People who are on dialysis need about 20% more protein than people without kidney disease1. Even those who follow a dialysis diet very carefully may still experience challenges getting vital nutrition through food and dietary supplements alone. These unmet protein needs often require IDPN or IPN.
Oral Nutrition Supplements
It can be very hard to maintain adequate protein levels, even while on IDPN or IPN therapy. Pentec’s nutrition support for dialysis patients goes beyond the targeted, individualized nutrition that addresses the effects of long-term dialysis. We also offer oral nutrition supplements (ONS) designed to support a patient’s nutrition at the onset of IDPN/IPN therapy. Clinical data suggest positive outcomes for protein malnourished patients who begin ONS2,3,4.
The Pentec Difference
Pentec Health’s decades of experience and ability to combine clinical expertise with a deep understanding of patient needs equips us to innovate services that benefit patients and dialysis clinicians alike.
