1. Estimated daily P intake (in mg/d) from daily protein intake (in g/d) in 107 MHD patients from the NIED Study (30).
Estimated daily P intake (in mg/d) from daily protein intake (in g/d) in 107 MHD patients from the NIED Study (30). Regression equation: P = 11.8*protein + 78 (r = 0.91, P < 0.001). Characteristics of the study population: 107 adult MHD patients from eight DaVita dialysis Clinics in Los Angeles area, 2001–2006. Dietary P intake 874 ± 1352 mg/d (range 294 to 2137 mg/d), dietary protein intake 66.6 ± 26.9 g/d (range 24.1 to g/d), age 56.0 ± 12.4 years, men 60%, black patients 43%, Hispanic patients 36%, patients with diabetes 62%, dialysis vintage 42.1 ± 33.7 months, postdialysis dry weight 75.1 ± 20.8 kg (range 42.6 to kg), single-pool Kt/V 1.58 ± Dashed lines indicate predicated interval.
