BACKGROUND To assess the need to adapt dietary prescriptions, we studied potential effects of increasing the dialysis dose by adding a daytime icodextrin dwell, in children on Nocturnal Intermittent Peritoneal Dialysis (NIPD), on peritoneal amino acids (AA) and albumin loss, AA, albumin, cholesterol and fibrinogen plasma levels and nutritional intake. METHODS A cross-over study in eight child...

Therefore, we undertook a study aiming to analyze the effects of different peritoneal dia...
