[Infusion therapy and parenteral nutrition in acute renal failure and chronic renal insufficiency]

Abstract

In patients with acute renal insufficiency as well as in patients with chronic renal insufficiency a parenteral nutrition may become necessary in the different stages of the course of the disease. Taking into consideration the principles of the exact balance of the fluid metabolism, the electrolyte metabolism and of the acid-base-metabolism, the access of sufficient quantities of calories for the inhibition of the catabolism and the possibility of an anabolism as well as of the adapted amino acid substitution for the maintenance of an equalized nitrogen balance the parenteral nutrition is an effective method for influencing the disturbed renal function and the removal of complications dangerous to life.
