[Amino acids metabolism and nutritional support in acute renal failure].

Abstract
It has been claimed that conventional essential amino acid (EAA) solution may give rise to adverse effects such as hyperammonemia, in acute renal failure (ARF). On the other hand the majority the ARF treated recently have been complicated by multiple organ failure (MOF). These data indicate that a new regimen in nutritional support should be applied to those patients. A new amino acid solution for renal failure, containing not only EAA but also branched chain and non-essential amino acids, has been developed. We administered this solution as total parenteral nutrition (TPN) to ARF patients complicated by MOF. Continuous hemodiafiltration is simultaneously applied to remove excess water. The nutritional status and the deranged aminogram are improved by this treatment. We believe that an ARF patient complicated by MOF should be nutritionally supported with this new regimen.
