Summary

We hypothesize that a nutritional supplementation with higher than standard protein content (2.0 gm/Kg/day vs 1.4 gm/Kg/day) will result in improved whole-body net protein balance when administered to critically ill patients with acute renal failure (ARF).

Conditions

• Acute Renal Failure

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DRUG	TPN nutritional supplement	intravenous administration of nutritional supplement for 4 hours at a dosage of 30 kcal/kg/day, in the form of lipids, carbohydrates and protein; the non-protein calories are comprised of lipids (30%) and carbohydrates (70%)
