[Decreased catabolism after toxico-septic aggression by administration of injectable amino acids].

Two comparative lots were established, of 48 and 44 patients respectively with toxico-septic syndromes, renal failure of the hypercatabolic type, that had received parenteral food for a period of between 3 and 11 days. The first group received only glucose while the second also had injectable aminoacids. In the first group was noted a daily rate of blood urea variation (r) of 1,65 mg% and a good nitrogen elimination.
