Amino acid balance and nitrogen balance during total parenteral nutrition (TPN) and continuous arteriovenous hemofiltration (CAVH) were investigated in 11 critically ill anuric patients during the first 7 days after onset of anuria. Nitrogen intake ranged from 0.115 +/- 0.013 (SEM) g/kg/day on day 1 to 0.291 +/- 0.029 (SEM) g/kg/day on day 7. After 7 days of TPN, 9 patients had a positive cumulative protein-N balance of 287.52 +/- 68.52 (SEM) mg/kg, 2 patients had a negative balance of 781.8 and 1,103.2 mg/kg, respectively. Mean amino acid loss in ultrafiltrate was 0.159 +/- 0.008 (SEM) g/kg/day. Four patients died without recovery of renal function.

D010289 Parenteral Nutrition, Total The delivery of nutrients for assimilation and utilization by a patient whose sole source of nutrients is via solutions administered intravenously, subcutaneously, or by some other non-alimentary route. The basic components of TPN solutions are protein hydrolysates or free amino acid mixtures, monosaccharides, and electrolytes. Components are selected for their ability to reverse catabolism, promote anabolism, and build structural proteins.

D001806 Blood Urea Nitrogen The urea concentration of the blood stated in terms of nitrogen content. Serum (plasma) urea nitrogen is approximately 12% higher than blood urea nitrogen concentration because of the greater protein content of red blood cells. Increases in blood or serum urea nitrogen are referred to as azotemia and may have prerenal, renal, or postrenal causes.
