title: Amino acid losses during CAPD in children.
abstract: Plasma aminograms and daily amino acid losses in the dialysate were studied in 5 uremic children undergoing CAPD for 6-8 months. Amino acid losses averaged 10,000 muM/day, 25% of which under the form of essential amino acids. CAPD therapy did not correct the uremic profile of plasma amino acid concentrations.
