Nutrition and delayed @entity56 during continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis in relation to XXXX .

Anthropometric measurements, sixteen specific plasma proteins, @entity1674 , @entity165 , @entity1133 and @entity1011 were measured at 4-monthly intervals for 1 year in 15 @entity1 on CAPD. Delayed @entity56 skin tests were performed on 11 @entity1 at the start and after 4 and 12 months. Body weight increased due mainly to a mean increase in 'calculated' body fat of 2.0 kg with increases in @entity165 , @entity1674 and @entity755 . Gain in fat correlated with the daily supply of @entity413 in the dialysis fluid. Albumin, @entity69 , prealbumin and @entity904 -binding protein decreased in 8 @entity1 who intermittently ate less than 1.3 g protein/kg/day. A high concentration of @entity413 in the dialysis fluid probably caused @entity1277 . @entity298 resulted in increases in acute phase proteins although other plasma proteins decreased. Skin test responses indicated improvement in cell-mediated immunity during continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). The incidence of @entity298 and length of stay in hospital were greater in the @entity1 who were hypoalbuminaemic probably due to impairment of the humoral mechanism. @entity413 in dialysis fluid may contribute to hyperlipidaemia and @entity3147 with impairment of immunocompetence.
