Protein Catabolic Rate in Patients on Continuous Peritoneal Dialysis

Weight deficit in patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis

“…Protein nitrogen appearance equivalent (PNA) was estimated by the method of Randerson 21 and was normalized for body size (nPNA) by standard weight. 16,22 For each subject, standard weight (V/0.58) was computed using actual and ideal weight. Lean body mass (LBM) was estimated from creatinine kinetics 23 and was normalized to actual weight (LBM/W) and ideal weight (LBM/IW).…”
