Abstract
Summary Oral feeding of an egg-protein mixture or infusion of a balanced solution of essential amino acids to well-compensated cirrhotic patients is followed by a significant change in the rate of clearance of several amino acids from the plasma. This pattern is unchanged following portacaval shunt. The increased clearance of branched-chain amino acids and threonine may be secondary to a relative or absolute deficiency of these essential “building blocks” of protein in the cirrhotic patient.
