The influence of energy source and intake on nitrogen metabolism in chronic renal failure: Relevance to hyperlipoproteinaemia

Dietary Guidelines for the Management of Diabetic Patients with Chronic Renal Failure

“…By paying careful attention to the sources of the energy intake subsequent lipid abnormalities can be minimized. 30 Many diabetic patients have a high sodium intake secondary to the consumption of processed foods which may be relevant to hyperten~ion.~ Potassium obviously needs careful control especially in the later stages of renal failure. The phosphate intake also needs to be limited in order to minimize renal bone disease3' and to retard' progression of the renal failure as referred to above.…”

Dietary Management of Chronic Renal Failure with Oral Amino Acids

“…Electrolyte requirements with particular reference to sodium were adjusted ac cording to individual patients before starting this study. With respect to fat intake the emphasis should have been on the polyunsaturated fatty acid sources (Fowell et al, 1978), but at times this was impossible from a palatability standpoint. Amino acid supplements were given on a body weight basis as shown in table IV.…”
