title: [Nutrition in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis].
abstract: Adequate nutrition is of major importance in CAPD patients. This is particularly due to the considerable protein and amino acid loss. Peritoneal glucose absorption, in particular during the use of hypertonic dialysate, though providing considerable quantities of calories, may interfere with appropriate protein intake. Therefore, periodic assessment of the nutritional status is recommended. In general, protein intake of 1,2 g/kd body weight will yield positive nitrogen balance or nitrogen equilibrium. The generous use of hypertonic dialysate is discourage. Rather mild fluid restriction is recommended in order to allow fluid equilibrium.
