The PNA (protein equivalent of nitrogen appearance) is used to calculate protein intake from urea kinetics. One of the essential assumptions in the calculation of PNA is that urea accumulation in haemodialysis (HD) patients is equivalent to amino acid oxidation. However, urea is hydrolysed in the intestine and the resulting ammonia could be used metabolically. The magnitude and dependence on protein intake of this process are unknown in HD patients. |
