Effects of dietary protein restriction on the course of early XXXX .

@entity1 @entity177 @entity460 @entity1011 @entity631
Two groups of @entity1 with histologically proven @entity631 and @entity177 were studied. Group 1 comprised 28 @entity1 with an endogenous @entity1011 clearance of 66ml/min, daily protein excretion of 1.7g. These @entity1 were maintained for eight to 18 months on a diet containing about 40Kcal/kg and 1g/kg of protein. Phosphorous and @entity460 intake were unrestricted. Group 2 had 32 @entity1 with a mean @entity1011 clearance of 60ml/min and daily protein excretion of 1.8g. They followed no specific dietary regimen for six to 14 months. Their dietary calorie and protein intakes averaged 30Kcal/kg and 70g respectively. At the end of the observation period @entity1011 clearance values of Group 1 averaged 74ml/min, the daily protein excretion amounted to 1.1g. Values for Group 2 averaged 53ml/min and 1.9g respectively. Moderate dietary restriction of protein alone results in improving @entity1011 clearance values and a decreased protein excretion in the early stages of @entity177 in @entity1 with @entity631 .
