[Changes in free amino acid plasma levels in patients with acute pancreatitis and their correction with early parenteral feeding]

Abstract

The lowering of general pool of free amino acids in the blood plasma by 54.9%, comparing with their content in practically healthy persons, was observed in 17 patients with an acute pancreatitis. And by this the content of the majority of amino acids was lowered, excluding glutamate, phenylalanine and methionine, the level of which had raised. Under the conventional treatment influence the amino acids concentration had enhanced and constituted 60% from such in the control group, while in application of parenteral nutrition (intravenous infusion of the infezol 40 solution)--85.9%. By that the formation of the polyorganic insufficiency syndrome was not noted and the level of each amino acid had normalized.
