Nutritional behaviour of patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis.
Seven patients on home continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) were investigated for their spontaneous nutritional behaviour. Energy intake with dialysate glucose gain amounted to 130kJ/kg BW/day. The distribution found was: 56% carbohydrates, 35% fat and 10.9% protein. The protein intake opposed by peritoneal loss of aminoacids (1.76g/day) and of proteins (9.4g/day) amounted to 0.78g/kg BW/day. Subtraction of the peritoneal loss yields only 0.58g/kg/day; however, estimation of total nitrogen balance was slightly positive and nutrition related serum proteins remained comparable to other dialysis patients.
