Rehabilitation of Malnourished Infants With F-100 or Diluted F-100

A diet that is being fed to the young infants.

• F-100: The estimated PRSL for F-100 is 360 mOsm/L or 53 mOsm/100kcal and in a young infant growing normally this could exceed the excretory capacity of the kidney with the risk of hypernatremic dehydration. In the rehabilitation phase, however, severely malnourished children grow extremely rapidly and the potential solutes (e.g. protein, potassium) are deposited in lean tissue and do not present to the kidney for excretion. Thus, although the potential RSL is high, this has been assumed to be a theoretical risk for rapidly growing infants

300 ml of water is added to 1000 ml of f-100
