The effect of increasing N intake on the metabolic response to TPN in the septic pa- tient / 肠外与肠内营养

It is still difficult to achieve optimal nutritional effect in the septic patient.The objectives of this prospective study are to determine the effect of increasing N intake on the metabolic response to TPN in the septic patient,containing either0 .2 5 g N/ (kg? d) or0 .35 g N/(kg? d) .On the high- but not the low- N intake there were further beneficial effects on net protein levels in blood and nitrogen balance.The results showed that TPN containing high N instake can further achieve nitrogen bal- ance in the septic patient,although it may stimulate the catabolism of protein and further evoke the stress to responses.
