Histidine
Lysine
Methionine
Phenylalanine
Threonine
Tryptophan
21
Q

Percentage of total kilocalories protein should account for in parenteral nutrition

A

7-15%

1g protein = 1g AA = 0.16g nitrogen

22
Q

Protein starting dose for PN

A

1.5-3g/kg with daily increments to max of 4g/kg

23
Q

Enteral protein goal

A
  1. 5-4.5g/kg/day

3. 2-4.1 per 100kcal

24

Diagnosis of essential FA deficiency

A

Increased triene:tetraene ratio (>0.2)

Also called the Holman index

27
Q

Kcal fat should provide in daily calories

A

30-50%

20% lipid solution: 1mL is 20% fat and fat has 9kcal/g so 1mL has 1.8kcal

28
Q

How much glucose should be provided per gram of protein and why?

A

6g of glucose per g of protein for positive nitrogen balance

29
Q

%kcal glucose should provide

A

35-45% of total kcal

30
Q

GIR

A

(%dextrose x TF) / 144
(Rate x %dextrose) / (weight x 6)
(g dextrose x 1000) / wt / 1440

mg/kg/min

31
Q

A

Alpha tocopherol
Thrombocytopenia, anemia, reticulocytosis, acanthocytosis, neurologic deficits
Increased sensitivity to hemolysis

32
Q

Vitamin K deficiency

A

Required for carboxylation of prothrombin to thrombin

Hemorrhagic disease of the newborn

33
Q

Vitamin A deficiency

40
Q

A

Decrease manganese and copper

Increase zinc

41
Q

Renal insufficiency PN adjustments

A

Decrease chromium and selenium

42
Q

PN cholestasis and lipids

A

IL can decrease to 1gkd

43
Q

Nitrogen balance calculation

A

Balance = intake - lost
Nitrogen intake = protein intake (g/d) x 0.16 (because each gram of protein is 16% nitrogen)
Nitrogen lost = urine [urea] + estimated stool losses (4g)

44

A

Dextrose: %dextrose x mkd x 3.4
Protein: gkd x 4kc/g
Fat: gkd x 10kc/g
Or for fat: [(ml/d) x 2kc/ml] / wt
