L-arginine found essential to enhance the glomerular function of the kidneys is used to formulate a low viscosity, calorie-dense, nutritional product for a person having renal failure. In a product free of citric acid or citrates, for oral ingestion, the taste of arginine is counteracted by lactic, malic or adipic acid; in a formulation for tube- feeding, citric acid and citrates in a specific ratio controls the product's stability. The ratio of calcium to phosphorus is controlled, as is the caloric distribution and water content; the amounts of vitamins and minerals included provide a nutritionally complete formulation.

L'invention concerne l'utilisation de L-arginine, dont le rôle essentiel dans l'amélioration de la fonction glomérulaire des reins a été démontré, dans la formulation d'un produit nutritionnel à forte teneur calorique et à faible viscosité, destiné à des personnes présentant une insuffisance rénale. Le produit pour ingestion orale est exempt d'acide citrique et de citrates, le goût de l'arginine étant contrebalancé par de l'acide lactique, malique ou adipique. Dans la formulation pour alimentation par sonde, la stabilité du produit est régulée par l'adjonction d'une proportion spécifique d'acide citrique ou de citrate. Le rapport calcium-phosphore est contrôlé de même que la distribution calorique et la teneur en eau; les quantités de vitamines et de minéraux contenues dans le produit permettent d'assurer une formulation complète du point de vue nutritionnel.
