title: Nutrition of uremic patients in the course of CAPD treatment.
abstract: Our aim was an evaluation of daily protein and energy intake, plasma protein, albumin, and cholesterol concentrations as well as total iron binding capacity in the course of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) for up to 36 months. Our results indicate that CAPD patients, despite adequate clinical laboratory scores for up to 36 months of treatment, usually do not show optimal protein intake. When protein calorie malnutrition is prolonged, plasma proteins decrease. On the other hand, the greater the peritoneal permeability the lower the plasma protein intake.
