Nutrient Intake During Peritoneal Dialysis at the Prince of Wales Hospital in Hong Kong

Chinese CAPD patients had significantly lower nutrient intake than age- and sex-matched controls. The association between cardiac disease and lower dietary macronutrient and micronutrient intake in CAPD patients was mediated in part through systemic inflammation, which also was associated with more malnutrition. More attention should be focused on improving the intake pattern of Chinese CAPD patients.
