Abstract: An analysis of serum free amino acid profiles in 8 patients dying from major burns revealed that free amino acid began to decrease in shock period, decrease 31.12% in infection period and 41.3% before death in comparison with the control group. The amount of BCAA-also decrease 36.27% in infection period and 56.83% before death. If the serum free amino acid in major burn drops steadily, the prognosis will be worse.
