Popis: Comparative influence of Hemodialysis (HD) and Hemofiltration (HF) on nitrogen balance (Nb) and growth rate (GR) was investigated in 8 children, 3 males and 5 females, 11.25±2.9 years old.Children were treated first with HD for 25.7±11.9 months and afterwards with HF for 19.5±4.1 months. Nb was evaluated every 2 months by the difference between dietary protein intake (DPl) and protein catabolic rate (PCR), determined by urea kinetics. GR was assessed according with Tanner over a full year period. Results: mean and (SD)
