Descriptions
Critically ill patients fed a high-protein diet enriched with fiber and antioxidants have a significantly lower catheter-related sepsis rate than patients fed a standard high-protein diet. Physiologic stress results in both catabolism and decreases synthesis of proteins. Thus, reduced circulating levels of proteins such as albumin and transferrin are expected consequences of critical illness.
