Should any micronutrients be supplemented for the AKI patient treated with CRRT? Are there other micronutrients that should be avoided during an episode of AKI treated with CRRT?
What will be an ideal response?
• K, Mg, PO4, and Ca should be added/replaced based upon the diuretic phase of the CRRT and the patients serum levels.
• Deficiencies of Se, Cu, thiamin may also occur
• It is suggested to provide daily supplementation of 1 mg folate, 10 mg pyridoxine, the age and sex appropriate DRI for vitamin C (prevent oxalosis), 100 ?g Se, and a daily renal multivitamin for AKI patients receiving CRRT
• Vitamin A should probably not be supplemented due to the potential for toxicity
• Vitamin D supplementation may be needed if secondary parathyroidism is present due to CKD or levels are low in the critically ill
• Vitamin K should be supplemented if the patient is on PN and receiving antibiotic medication

Which of the following statements regarding fat loading strategies is FALSE?
A. As compared to carbohydrate intake, research indicates that medium chain triglyceride (MCT) supplementation does not enhance endurance performance B. Although some studies suggest chronic fat loading may spare use of muscle glycogen during endurance exercise, in general exercise scientists conclude that the technique is not an effective ergogenic aid for endurance athletes C. Carnitine supplementation has been shown to be a very effective dietary strategy to enhance endurance performance, particularly in events such as marathon running D. Acute fat loading, such as consuming a meal high in fat before exercise, has not been shown to enhance prolonged endurance performance E. Omega-3 fatty acids have been hypothesized to enhance endurance performance, but research studies are not supportive of an ergogenic effect
