Tag: Intraperitoneal nutrition

According to studies, peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients often lose between 5 and 20 grams of protein during each dialysis session, leading to chronic malnutrition. This is where IPN nutrition, or Intraperitoneal Nutrition, serves as a crucial intervention by directly delivering vital amino acids into the peritoneal cavity to counteract these protein losses.

Chronic kidney disease patients on dialysis frequently suffer from malnutrition, a condition that increases morbidity and mortality. For these patients, nutritional support is critical, with the choice of therapy hinging on the type of dialysis received. Both IPN and IDPN address this need, yet they are distinct therapies tailored to specific treatment modalities.
