The Relationship Between the Change of Resting Energy Expenditure and Nutritional Status .

Overview

Peritonitis is a common and devastating complication in patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD). It is a known fact that persistent inflammatory state and nutritional deterioration are closely associated with increased mortality in PD patients.And resting energy expenditure(REE) is significantly increased in acute and chronic inflammation in patients with chronic kidney disease (including dialysis patients).However,it is limited to the changing trend and duration of REE in peritonitis.Investigators hypothesize that the increase in total energy consumption resulting from the increase of REE which may accompany with decreased energy intake will lead to negative energy balance and nutritional deterioration, which may affect the prognosis of patients.Therefore,a prospective cohort study will be designed to dynamically research the change of REE accompanied with the nutrition status in peritonitis and provide the basis for peritonitis management in the future.
