Pediatric Kidney Disease

There are two types of kidney disease; Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) and Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). Provision of adequate nutrition is vital in the management of children with kidney disease to enable normal growth and development¹. Dietary management also aims to avoid the accumulation of toxic metabolites, reduce morbidities such as renal bone disease and ultimately improve quality of life².

Ketogenic Diet

Epilepsy is a disease of the brain which is characterised by recurrent seizures. It is the most prevalent neurological disorder aside from migraines, affecting approximately 50-60 million people worldwide¹. Seizures are diagnosed and classified by strict criteria as defined by International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) ². Whilst pharmacological treatment is successful for many, approximately 30% of cases fail to respond to two or more anti-epileptic drugs (AED’s)^{3, 4}. This is termed ‘drug resistant epilepsy’5. For these individuals, interventions such as surgery and vagal nerve stimulation may be indicated and beneficial, however, both are invasive, carry the risk of complications and are not suitable for everyone.

Vitaflo have developed a number of products that can be used as part of the ketogenic diet, which help aid compliance and make the diet more manageable.
