Abstract
Data are presented from the results of 46 dietary assessments on 13 children on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). The results demonstrate that even with dietary supplements, energy and protein intakes are generally inadequate. Nutritional requirements and possible reasons for suboptimal intake are discussed and potential methods for improving nutritional intake are suggested.
