A simple formula for calculating daily nitrogen requirements and balance is presented. A close correlation was observed between calculated and actual nitrogen balance studies. For better precision a different correction factor is suggested for patients receiving protein hydrolysates and crystalline amino acid solutions. This formula will greatly aid those who have to devise complete intravenous nutrition regimes for patients whose condition varies daily. The biochemistry required for application of this formula is within the capacity of any small hospital laboratory.
本文提出了一个计算每日氮需求量和平衡的简单公式。观察到计算得出的氮平衡研究结果与实际氮平衡研究结果之间存在密切相关性。对于接受蛋白质水解物和结晶氨基酸溶液的患者,建议使用不同的校正因子以提高精度。该公式将极大地帮助那些必须为病情每日变化的患者设计完全肠内营养方案的人员。应用此公式所需的生物化学知识在任何小型医院实验室的能力范围内。
