Abstract

determined with high performance liquid chromatography. The nine essential amino acids and fourteen nonessential amino acids were quantified. We evaluated the minimum and maximum of amino acids retrospectively, and evaluated the prognostic factors. Results: Sixty-seven (male/female: 47/30) patients were included in this study. The age was 64.0±16.9. The focus of infection was pneumonia (33, 42.9%), gas gangrene (16, 20.8%), abdominal infection (15, 19.5%), CNS infection (6, 7.8%), infective endocarditis (1, 1.3%), and others (6, 7.8%). The whole mortality rate was 39.0%. Stepwise logistic regression revealed that the minimum of glutamate and the maximum of methionine were selected as main prognostic factors (P< 0.05). Conclusion: The altered balance of aminogram was associated with mortality in patients with sepsis. The modulation of amino acids could be the next nutritional therapy.
