Abstract
Compositions containing the keto analogs of certain of the amino acids essential for humans are therapeutically employed in the treatment of patients confined to low or restricted protein diet, particularly in cases of renal diseases. These analogs promote protein synthesis in the human body and suppress undesired urea formation, partly as a result of altering the body's mechanisms for conserving protein.
