You don't want a multivitamin that contains vitamin A if you have more

elimination is impaired, and it can build up to toxic levels in kidney

patients. That's why renal vitamins contain no vitamin A. Just what you get

from food is enough.

Well, the one they sell here is called Replavite. It's non-prescription, but you

have to ask the pharmacist for it. Other brands I've heard of elsewhere are

names like Nephro-vites. In a pinch, a vitamin B complex with a little bit of

vitamin C will do. Just be sure there's no vitamin A in it.

Our dietitian gives out a renal vitamin called Dialyvite. It can be

ordered directly from the company and she said it's pretty cheap.

I'll see if she has any order forms if you're interested. - Shara

I just want to add that you should only be taking a renal vitamin if your neph

tells you to start on them. In early stage renal disease they are not needed or

even recommended. I'm at roughly 45% function and I still take a regular multi

vitamin but I take it every other day. Just a reminder to check with your neph

before starting anything.
