| Main Objective: To demonstrate superiority of the treatment regime with a bicarbonate based dialysis fluid of low lactate (10 mmol/l) and high calcium (1.75 mmol/l) concentration (e.g., Physioneal 35®) compared to the traditional bicarbonate based solution with higher lactate (15 mmol/l) and lower calcium (1.25 mmol/l) concentration (e.g., Physioneal 40®) on protein metabolism in children and adolescents with end stage renal failure receiving PD.;Secondary Objective: 1. Fat oxidation (13C-enrichment in expiration breath samples for U-C13-algae turnover) 2. Growth markers (plasma levels of IgF-1, IgF-BP3, leptin) 3. Biochemical markers of anabolism (plansma levels of total protein, albumin, transferrin) 4. Serum thyroid function (fT3, fT4, TSH) 5. Serum lipid status 6. Serum markers of calcium/phosphate metabolism (PTH, calcium, ionized calcium, phosphate, alkaline phosphatase) 7. Prevalence of metabolic acidosis/ alkalosis (venous sample), serum lactate 8. Safety parameters (such as normalized weekly Kt/v, parameters of glucose metabolism, parameters of hepatic function, parameters of calcium-phosphate-metabolism, physical examination incl. standing height, weight, assessment of complications related to peritoneal diaylsis as peritonitis, exit infections and inguinal hernia) 9. Body composition (lean body mass and body fat mass/fluid) ;Primary end point(s): | — |
