Malnutrition is a major problem in patients with chronic renal failure, especially in children in the first three years of life. Meeting high energy needs in these patients may be difficult because of anorexia and vomiting, which are common in predialysis renal failure. Nutritional support for children with chronic renal failure often involves the use of nasogastric tubes or gastrostomy feeding. We describe an infant with pre-dialysis renal failure and severe malnutrition in whom only insertion of percutaneus endoscopic gastrostomy provided adequate caloric intake and satisfactory weight gain.
营养不良是慢性肾衰竭患者的一个主要问题，尤其是对于出生后前三年的儿童。由于透析前肾衰竭患者常见的厌食和呕吐，满足这些患者的高能量需求可能会很困难。对慢性肾衰竭儿童的营养支持通常涉及使用鼻胃管或胃造口喂养。我们描述了一名患有透析前肾衰竭和严重营养不良的婴儿，在该婴儿中，仅经皮内镜下胃造口术的插入就提供了足够的热量摄入并使体重得到了令人满意的增加。
