title: The use of peritoneal dialysis as a means of supplying nutrients.
abstract: The aim of this study is to demonstrate the possibility of using the peritoneal route for carrying out periodical dialysis (PPD) together with supplying amino acids (AA's) for nutritional purposes and, at the same time, to determine the influence of the pattern of the mixture of AA's used for this purpose. In order to carry out this study we established three different groups. The PPD technique was the same for all the patients. In the control group PPD was performed without the addition of AA's. In groups 2 and 3 PPD was carried out with the addition of AA's and two different patterns were respectively used for that purpose.
