Accute malnutrition and visceral failure.

Desnutrición aguda y fallos viscerales

Bertullo, Hugo - Muguruza, Alvaro

Resumen:

A prospective study was carried out in order to determinethe existence or not of a connection between aculemalnutrition and visceral failure in multi-aggressedpatients, Starting out with two comparable groups,group A, suffering from more aggressions, showed aconsisten! loss of nitrogen which was greater !han theintake, (nitrogen balance becoming positiva only in43% of the cases. Visceral failure was statisticallygreater in this group; it was also directly related tonitrogen loss, and this showed, as a conclusion, thatthe aforementioned connection exists.


Se planificó una experiencia prospectiva con la finalidadde demostrar si existía correlación entre la desnutriciónaguda y los fallos viscerales que se observanen los pacientes multiagredidos. Siendo comparableslos grupos al inicio, el grupo "A" con mayor agresión,demuestra una sostenida pérdida de nitrógeno que superalos ingresos, pudiéndose positivizar el balancenitrogenado sólo en el 43% de los casos. Las repercusionesviscerales de este grupo son estadísticamentemayores, correlacionándose con igual significación delas pérdidas nitrogenadas, lo que permite concluir en laexistencia de la relación planteada.
