WCN26-3163 Effect of PROtein-calorie MalnutritiOn on clinical ouTcomEs in AKI patients on CRRT: A secondary analysis of a prospective cohort study (PROMOTE-CRRT)

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: Protein–calorie malnutrition is common among critically ill patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) requiring continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). These patients experience heightened metabolic stress and substantial amino acid and protein losses through CRRT, predisposing them to nutritional deficits. Despite existing recommendations of 1.0-1.5 g/kg/day of protein and 20–30 kcal/kg/day energy intake, achieving these targets remains challenging due to frequent feeding interruptions, haemodynamic instability, and metabolic complications.
