Dialysis hyperhomocysteinemia

Folic acid/cobalamin/pyridoxine hydrochloride are nutritional combinations. Folic acid and cobalamin reduce homocysteine by metabolizing it to methionine. Pyridox-ine facilitates breakdown of homocysteine to cysteine and other by-products. They are indicated for nutritional requirement of patients with end-stage renal failure, dialysis, hyperhomocysteinemia, homocystinuria, nutrient malabsorption or inadequate dietary intake, particularly for patients with or at risk for cardiovascular disease, cerebrovascular disease, peripheral vascular disease, arteriosclerotic...
