title: [Children with chronic renal failure: evaluation of the nutritional status and management].
abstract: Since malnutrition is a well recognized problem in children with chronic renal failure, nutritional management of these children is essential. This review describes methods for nutritional assessment and suggests guidelines for providing maximal dietary support in children with chronic renal insufficiency. Optimal nutritional management includes an adequate caloric and protein intake, a restriction of phosphorus intake and an appropriate intake of electrolytes and vitamins.
