Plasma Transferrin Concentration as a Nutritional Marker in Malnourished Dogs with Nutritional Treatment
Rapid turnover proteins, such as transferrin (Tf), are used as dynamic nutritional assessment proteins in human medicine. However, nutritional status in veterinary medicine is mostly assessed on the basis of classical static factors, such as body weight, body condition score and plasma albumin level. This study evaluated the clinical usefulness of Tf as a nutritional assessment marker by measur...
متن کاملThe Estimation of Plasma Protein Concentration from Plasma Specific Gravity
In 1930 Moore and Van Slyke (1) reviewed the various physical measurements, refractometric and others, that might serve as measures of the protein concentration of plasma, and concluded that specific gravity was the most reliable if application was required to pathological as well as normal plasmas. For plasma of nephritic patients they found that the relation between protein concentration and ...
متن کاملNutritional Assessment in Critically Ill Patients
Background: Malnutrition is an important factor in the survival of critically ill patients. The purpose of the present study was to assess the nutritional status of patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) on the days of admission and discharge via a detailed nutritional assessment. Methods: Totally, 125 patients were followed up from admission to discharge at 8ICUs in Shiraz, Iran. The patien...
متن کاملPlasma protein concentration and recovery from anaesthesia in man.
The effect of the concentration of plasma protein on the recovery from anaesthesia induced by equipotent doses (UD95) of thiopentone and Althesin was studied in 48 patients. The recovery time (RT) wa plotted against the concentrations of total plasma proteins (TPP) and albumin (Al). A small decrease in TPP concentration from normal range affected the recovery time minimally; a small decrease in...
