[Evaluation of metabolic disorders in surgical patients]

The paper treats the problems of metabolism derangement in surgical patients. Special emphasis is laid on the correction of metabolic abnormalities in the pre- and postoperative periods and on the use of parenteral feeding in surgical complications: incompetence of anastomosis sutures, peritonitis, intestinal fistulas, and so forth. The authors define the role of the drugs of directed action in such a severe pathology as hepatorenal insufficiency.
