Protein and amino acid losses in dialysis effluent in APD patients a .
| Overnight | Daytime | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AAG dialysis (1) | G dialysis (2) | After AAG dialysis (3) | After G dialysis (4) | |
| Protein (g/8.5 h) | 3.06 (2.28–3.51) | 3.0 (1.84–3.99) | 3.48 (2.44–6.16) | 3.03 (2.17–5.54) |
| Protein (g/h) | 0.36 (0.27–0.41) | 0.35 (0.22–0.47) b | 0.22 (0.16–0.40) | 0.20 (0.14–0.36) |
| Total AA (g/8.5 h) | 1.47 (1.02–1.94) c | 0.70 (0.62–1.25) | ||
| EAA (g/8.5 h) | 0.37 (0.25–0.55) d | 0.18 (0.17–0.37) | ||
| Total AA (g/h) | 0.17 (0.12–0.23) e | 0.05 (0.04–0.08) | ||
aData are expressed as median and range; AAG, amino acid and glucose; G, glucose.
Comparisons were made for columns (2) versus (4). These resulted in significant differences for: b, c, d, and e (P < .05 versus daytime after G).
No significant differences were found for columns (1) versus (2) and (3) versus (4).
