title: Energy intake and energy expenditure profiles in peritoneal dialysis patients.
abstract: Protein-energy wasting is a highly prevalent complication in patients with end-stage renal disease receiving peritoneal dialysis therapy, and it powerfully predicts clinical outcomes of these patients. The etiology is usually multifactorial. In this article, we aim to present the energy intake and energy expenditure profiles and review some of the important causes that have a negative effect on them in patients on peritoneal dialysis.
