Abstract:
Research into the metabolic role of glutamine in trauma and sepsis brings evidence to suggest a conditional deficiency occurs because increased and altered tissue demands exceed endogenous production. Such a deficiency has functional implications, and the restorative provision of parenteral glutamine has been shown to offer improved clinical outcomes in a variety of conditions. In the critically-ill it is associated with improvements in immune function, and improved survival from infection leading to an overall improved outcome.
