Various parameters of nutritional status and growth in 13 children with weight less than 12 kg were estimated at the start of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) and 1 year later. A significant improvement in weight, triceps skinfold, and serum albumin was noticed. Height and midarm muscle circumference did not change significantly. However, a significant improvement in height occurred in patients with initial abnormal height (<--2 SDS). There was no significant change in protein intake and urea nitrogen appearance (UNA) during the study period. A significant correlation between protein intake and UNA was noticed. All patients had normal serum insulinlike growth factor. In conclusion, there was no significant change in either height velocity or muscle mass despite the improvement in many nutritional parameters.
对13名体重不足12千克的儿童在持续非卧床腹膜透析（CAPD）开始时及1年后的营养状况和生长的各项参数进行了评估。发现体重、肱三头肌皮褶厚度和血清白蛋白有显著改善。身高和上臂中部肌肉周长无显著变化。然而，初始身高异常（<-2 SDS）的患者身高有显著改善。研究期间蛋白质摄入量和尿素氮出现量（UNA）无显著变化。发现蛋白质摄入量与UNA之间存在显著相关性。所有患者血清胰岛素样生长因子均正常。总之，尽管许多营养参数有所改善，但身高增长速度和肌肉量均无显著变化。
