NEPRO HP
WHY HAVE I BEEN RECOMMENDED NEPRO HP?
Nepro HP is liquid nutrition that is given to patients as a tube feed. It is designed for people who cannot get all the energy and nutrients they need by mouth and who might have or be at risk of malnutrition.
Nepro HP is typically recommended to patients with:
Kidney disease who are on dialysis
Cirrhosis
Other health conditions that mean they need smaller amounts of electrolytes or liquid.
If you have one of the conditions mentioned above and are unable to eat safely, for example if you have difficulty swallowing, or you are able to eat, but can’t eat enough to meet your nutritional needs, then your healthcare professional (e.g. consultant or dietitian) may recommend you with Nepro HP to help you get the nutrients you need.
WHAT IS NEPRO HP?
Nepro HP is a high-energy liquid nutrition that comes in a 500 ml bottle. It has calories, protein as well as other vitamins and minerals. It is designed for people who can’t have too many electrolytes in their diet (such as potassium).
It can be used as your only source of nutrition, for example if you are unable to eat by mouth or can be used as a supplement in addition to the food you eat.
