Protein catabolic rate based on 24 hour Urine [Calculated]
Protein catabolic rate 24h Ur-mRate
Definition
- Protein catabolic rates can be used to estimate protein intake in dialysis patients and determine if dietary protein consumption is appropriate. Protein catabolic rate (PCR) is calculated using the urea-nitrogen appearance rate (UNA). Special consideration including, dietary monitoring of caloric and protein intake, should be given to patients with low protein catabolic rates. [PMID: 2129442]
