    Abstract: A nutritional composition for enteral and oral feeding provides sole-source or supplemental nutrition via a specialized formula for people on dialysis due to chronic kidney disease (CKD) or acute kidney injury (AKI), the formula being a calorically dense, high protein formula with optimized electrolyte content for people on dialysis due to CKD or AKI, while being entirely plant-based and suitable for vegan, lactose-free, dairy-free, and gluten-free diets. The nutritional composition comprises pea protein, a balanced fat blend (e.g., sunflower, flaxseed, and medium chain triglycerides), an easy to digest carbohydrate blend (e.g., agave syrup, brown rice syrup solids), with agave inulin fiber, and micronutrients. The nutritional composition provides relatively high amounts (e.g., compared to standard formulas) of certain micronutrients, including vitamin B6, vitamin B12, zinc, and/or selenium, and relatively low amounts of sodium, potassium, and phosphorus to meet the needs of CKD patients on dialysis.
