Anorexia nervosa with acute tubular necrosis treated with parenteral nutrition
Abstract:
A patient with nonoliguric acute renal failure secondary to acute tubular necrosis in conjunction with anorexia nervosa is described. Parenteral feeding at a critical time has salutory effects on the biosynthesis of new protein and thereby reduces many of the hazards of azotemia. The technique of estimating endogenous acid production is applied for the first time in a severely malnourished subject and documents the retention of dietary sulfur which presumably is retained in the formation of new tissue in the recovery phase.
