Nutrition aspects of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis: a review

E. J. Zarling and K. Gottlieb
Loyola University Medical Center, Section of Digestive Diseases and Nutrition, Maywood, IL 60153.

Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) is an increasingly popular alternative to hemodialysis. Nutrition practitioners in the in- and outpatient setting must be knowledgeable about specific nutritional considerations in these patients. In this paper, we briefly review factors which play a role in the malnutrition often encountered in end-stage renal disease, and focus on metabolic abnormalities, nutritional requirements, and nutritional assessment of patients undergoing CAPD. Urea kinetic modeling as an adjunct to nutritional assessment is explained in detail.
