Answer to Question 1

This is protein of high biological value or animal protein. Since more protein is lost through peritoneal dialysis, it is important that the protein be replaced. Essential as well as nonessential amino acids will be lost so the emphasis is on 50 HBV.

Answer to Question 2

Fluid was adequate, phos was high, and K was on the high side of normal.
