[HTML][HTML] Amino acid kinetics in patients with sepsis
W Druml, G Heinzel, G Kleinberger - The American journal of clinical …, 2001 - Elsevier
Background: In patients with sepsis and systemic inflammatory response syndrome, amino
acid extraction by the liver is enhanced, resulting in decreased plasma amino acid
concentrations. Systematic investigations of the elimination of intravenously infused amino
acids have not been performed. Objective: The objective of this study was to compare the
elimination of 17 amino acids in patients with sepsis and in healthy control subjects. Design:
Elimination of amino acids was evaluated in 9 patients with sepsis and in 8 healthy control …
