Objective To evaluate the influence of 1.1% amino acid dialysis solution (AADS) on parameters of nutrition in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients. Study Design Studies were performed in 8 men, using AADS for the overnight exchange. Before starting AADS, food intake, nutritional status, and laboratory indices were evaluated and compared to the respective parameters obtained after 3 and 6 months of treatment with AADS, as well as after 3 months of AADS withdrawal. With the start of AADS, doses of antacids were increased and modified during AADS administration; the modified doses were continued through 3 months after cessation of AADS. Another group of CAPD patients using standard dialysis solutions served as controls. In these patients the same parameters were evaluated four times at 3-month intervals. Results Administration of AADS resulted in: (1) 91% absorption of amino acids and improvement of serum amino acid pattern; (2) no change in nutritional intake during the treatment, but after the 3 months of AADS therapy, levels of nutrient intake were lower than those 3 months after withdrawal of AADS with correction of metabolic acidosis; (3) no change in indices of nutritional status, but 3 months after AADS discontinuation, total body weight, lean body mass, and body mass index were significantly higher than those shown after 3 months of treatment; (4) an increase in hemoglobin concentration, hematocrit, BUN, and blood H+. The examined parameters were not significantly changed in patients treated for 9 months with standard dialysis solutions exclusively. The values of nitrogen balance obtained during AADS administration and after 3 months of AADS withdrawal were significantly higher than those obtained in the respective periods in the control group. The blood pH, pCO2, and HCO3– in the last period of the study were higher in the AADS group than in the control group. Conclusion In relatively well-nourished CAPD patients, overnight AADS administration results in increased serum concentration of amino acids without changes in other nutritional parameters. The use of AADS should be associated with increased doses of antacid medication, which abolishes the metabolic effects of acidosis that develop during AADS administration and facilitates positive nitrogen balance.

Five different bicarbonate-based continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) solutions (pH: 7.0-7.4; bicarbonate: 10-27 mM; lactate: 20.8–0.7 mM) were produced in order to examine the cytotoxic effects of the different compositions. The migratory capacity of normal human polymorphonuclear (PMN) granulocytes after exposure to the solutions was used as a cytotoxicity assay. All the tested solutions reduced cellular function compared to a standard cell culture medium, but considerable differences between the solutions were observed. The optimal Conditions for the PMN migration were at a pH of 7.0 and at bicarbonate and lactate concentrations of 20 mM and 12.5 mM, respectively. Bicarbonate concentrations of more than 25 mM were associated with reduced cellular function as were lactate concentrations of more than 15 mM. The most advantageous CAPD solution regarding cytotoxicity towards normal human PMN's is a combination of a lactate and bicarbonate-based solution, which has a bicarbonate concentration of approximately 20 mM, a lactate concentration of 12.5 mM, and a pH of approximately 7.2.

The changes in plasma and dialysate amino acids (AA) in 7 continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) children after dialysis with a 1% AA solution were compared with a glucose-containing solution. During the AA exchange, the plasma levels of individual AA reached their peaks after 1 h, with their percentage increments significantly correlated (p < 0.001) with the ratio of the amount of AA in the bag to the basal plasma concentration. The plasma concentration of methionine, valine, phenylalanine, and isoleucine remained higher than the basal value at 4 h. The amount of AA absorbed was 66% after 1 h, and 86% after 4 h and 6 h, corresponding to 2574 ± 253 μmollkg body wt. During glucose-dialysis (1.36%), levels of histidine, methionine, valine, phenilal-anine, and isoleucine were significantly decreased in plasma after 1 h, and stayed low throughout the dialysis period. The loss of AA with the peritoneal effluent was 116 ± 69 μmol/kg/body wt. From this study, it seems that using an AA dialysis solution, with 1 exchange per day, might limit the daily glucose load and compensate for AA losses by supplying an extra amount of AA and by reducing the loss of other AA not contained in dialysis solutions. The AA pattern in plasma following AA-dialysis resembles that observed after a protein meal, with no signs of persistently high, nonphysiological levels.

Protein and energy malnutrition is frequently found in patients on maintenance dialysis and is associated with an increased risk of death. Among a variety of factors involved in the development of protein and energy malnutrition, such as acidosis, insulin resistance, inflammation, and dialysate protein losses, insufficient intake of proteins and energy as a result of anorexia plays a prominent role. Amino acid (AA)-based peritoneal dialysis (PD) solutions can induce an anabolic response in malnourished patients on continuous ambulatory PD if enough calories are ingested simultaneously. Poor appetite, however, may impede the intake of sufficient calories. Peritoneal dialysis solutions containing a mixture of AAs and glucose in a proper ratio can serve as a source of proteins and calories. Such a dialysis solution can be used in fasting patients on nocturnal automated PD as part of a regular dialysis schedule. Using a sophisticated technique involving stable isotopes, this dialysis mixture has been found to induce acute anabolic changes in whole body protein metabolism. Such a metabolic response is similar to that induced by food. Intraperitoneal AAs, in common with ingested proteins, can induce generation of hydrogen ions and urea through oxidation of specific AAs. Supplying AAs together with calories could bring about utilization of AAs for the synthesis of proteins rather than the oxidation of AAs, thereby limiting production of acid and urea. Using dialysis solutions with a buffer concentration of 40 mmol/L further contributes to maintaining acid–base homeostasis. We advocate consideration of usage of AA/glucose dialysate when PD patients cannot comply with dietary requirements. To evaluate the long-term effects of this approach on morbidity and mortality, clinical trials with large groups of patients are needed.
