Essential and non-essential amino acid requirement in injured patients receiving total parenteral nutrition
Abstract
The metabolic derangements of injury are known to influence nitrogen (N) requirements whilst less is known about individual amino acid (AA) requirements. This study was designed to investigate prospectively N vs AA requirement in 36 injured patients treated with total parenteral nutrition (TPN). The non-protein caloric input was 30 kcal kg-1 day-1 and three AA solutions were assessed containing the same AAs but in different proportion. Overall N intake was set at 0.35 g N kg-1 day-1 for solution A and B and 0.24 g N kg-1 day-1 for solution C. Solution B was similar to A, both being enriched in branched chain AAs (BCAA: 0.69 g kg-1 day-1 in B compared with 0.55 g kg-1 day-1 in A) while decreased in aromatic and sulphurated forms (1.75 times the normal need). Solution C was designed to maintain a daily input of BCAA similar to A (0.52 g kg-1 day-1) but with the supply of aromatic and sulphurated AA between solutions A and B, the supply of other AAs (lysine, theonine, histidine, arginine, glycine) being dependent on the selected N intake. For all the essential AAs the supply was always greater than normal allowances. Increasing BCAA over 0.55 g kg-1 day-1 did not improve N balance when N intake was 0.35 g kg-1 day-1, whilst nutrition with solution C was unable to maintain N balance. Moreover we found indirect evidence that this N intake, 0.52 g kg-1 day-1 was more sparing than 0.37 g kg-1 day-1 of BCAA.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
