Gastro-intestinal tolerance and renal safety of protein oral nutritional supplements in nursing home residents: A randomized controlled trial
Conclusion
High protein ONS seems to be well-tolerated and safe; there is no indication that it affects renal function in nursing home residents, including patients with stage 3 chronic kidney disease, under the conditions tested. Results did not suggest a difference in the effect on renal function between standard and energy-dense small volume ONS format.
