IDPN & IPN Nutrition Therapy for Dialysis Patients, What’s the Difference?

Intradialytic parenteral nutrition (IDPN) and intraperitoneal nutrition (IPN) are forms of targeted nutrition therapy designed to address the effects of long-term dialysis treatments. While both treatments aim to provide nutrition, it is important to understand the differences in how they are administered and the benefits that they provide.

We focus on the details. Our patients focus on healing.

Pentec Health is proud to be a nationwide leader in clinical nutrition and specialty care. We combine pharmacy services with clinical excellence to simplify complex care challenges not addressed by other providers.
