Renal Unit and Department of Biochemistry, Glasgow Royal Infirmary, Glasgow, G4 OSF.
The vitamin status of nine uremic patients was assessed before the
institution of CAPD, after six months of CAPD with oral water-soluble vitamin
supplementation (as in hemodialysis) and after a further six months without
vitamin supplementation. We concluded that it is necessary to provide
supplements of pyridoxine and ascorbic acid but probably not folic acid.
Levels of the lipid soluble vitamins A and E were within the normal range.
KEY WORDS: Vitamins; Uremia; Hemodialysis; CAPD.
