In a recent survey of the nutritional management of 195

children with AKI on CRRT, the maximal calorie prescription

in the course of treatment averaged 53, 31, and 21 kcal/kg/d,
and that for protein intake 2.4, 1.9, and 1.3 g/kg/d in children
1, 113, and >13 years, respectively. Although not
validated by outcome studies, these figures provide an
orientation for the macronutrient supply typically achieved
in and tolerated by children with AKI receiving CRRT
