15N tracer kinetic investigations on the protein metabolism in a child with chronic renal failure fed a protein-restricted diet.
Administration of EAA and KA in patients with CRF on a protein-restricted diet led to a favourable influence on the plasma protein turnover. This was demonstrated by an increase in the half-life and a decrease in the breakdown rate of plasma proteins measured by the 15N tracer technique.
