LOINC description : 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];
