AN INTRAVENOUS SOLUTION THAT DIMINISHES BODY PROTEIN AND WATER LOSS

摘要

The present invention provides compositions and methods of decreasing the nitrogen loss in a mammal which is normally associated with the administration of isocaloric solutions. Specifically, the present invention provides compositions comprising from about 4% to 10% dextrose and from about 1/2% to 2% glutamine. Such compositions, when administered to a mammal, reduces dehydration and nitrogen loss to approximately 25% of that found when no solution is administered.
