An ELEMENT to represent the result of a derived normalised protein catabolic rate observation.
Normalised protein catabolic rate (PCRn) can be calculated from pre-dialysis and post-dialysis BUN measurements
in patients receiving intermittent dialysis. This measure of net protein catabolism, adjusted for body
size, is a useful clinical measure of nutrition that correlates with patient outcome and, in patients who are in
nitrogen balance, is a reasonable estimate of dietary protein intake.
Example formula:
PCRn = C0/(a + bKt/V + c/(Kt/NLL)) + 0.168
(where Co is the pre-dialysis BUN in mg/dL)
The value is expressed in grams per kilogram per day (g/kg.d) so that the results can be compared and studied for patients
with differing weights.
