We prospectively evaluated a series of patients with acute renal failure managed with continuous venovenous hemofiltration to determine which nutritional and nonnutritional variables might influence protein catabolism and nitrogen balance.

In contrast, patients with cancer cachexia often show a positive rather than negative nitrogen balance. See Bistrian, "Some Practical and Theoretical...

Since the data reveal a multifactorial syndrome in cachexia, One recent published finding reported that insulin administration improved metabolic profiles (lowering triglycerides, liver enzymes, and glycohemoglobin concentrations and normalizing the 24 hour urine) to the point of patients being in a positive energy balance.

Recent clinical studies have shown that acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are characterised by disturbances in the balance between dietary intake and energy expenditure 1, 2 as well as by a negative nitrogen balance 3. Since weight loss prior to and during hospitalisation for an...
