English to Italian Medical Medical (general) Nutrizione artificiale nell'insufficienza renale

Because of the nutritional impact of renal diseases, EN is widely used in nephrology practice. Patients with acute renal failure (ARF) and critical illness are characterized by a highly catabolic state and need depurative techniques inducing massive nutrient loss. EN by TF is the preferred route for nutritional support in these patients. EN by means of ONS is the preferred way of refeeding for **depleted conservatively treated chronic renal failure patients** and dialysis patients.
