Impact of the Nutritional Regimen on Protein Catabolism and Nitrogen Balance in Patients With Acute Renal Failure

Abstract

These results suggest that the optimal nutritional regimen for patients with acute renal failure may require a high-protein (approximately 1.5 to 1.8 g/kg per day) and a relatively low-energy (approximately 25 to 35 kcal/kg per day) content.
