Question

Regarding the relative contraindications to participate on the NutriMed VLCD program, what is the Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) range for renal insufficiency to preclude program participation?

Answer

We allow creatinine up to 2.5 in our program. I would suggest for a new program to start out with a lower level of creatinine, less than 1.8. —John Hernried, MD, FACP
