Abstract
Five patients who had parenteral nutrition with a casein hydrolysate and dextrose mixture were compared with five patients who received a synthetic L-amino acid and dextrose mixture. The incidence of metabolic complications and sepsis was lower in the infants who had the synthetic Lamino acid and dextrose mixture. A protein intake of 2 gm/kg/day was better tolerated than was one of 4 gm/kg/day. It is concluded that at present the best amino acid and dextrose mixture is made up of synthetic L-amino acids and dextrose and is adjusted to a protein load of 2 gm/kg/day.
