STUDY OF METABOLISM ALTERATION IN BURN PATIENTS

Deepti Gautam, Vishnu. Dutt. Bohra

Abstract :

Severe burn causes a catabolic response with profound effects on protein metabolism. Our aim is to determine changes of metabolism and biochemical parameters like Total protein, albumin, globulin, A/G ratio, urea, creatinine and uric acid levels and if their level can predict extent of injury and severity in different types of burn patients. One hundred and five burn patients were included in this study and compared with fifty healthy subjects. A significant differences (p<0.0001) between burn patients and control group were observed in total protein, albumin, globulin, A/G ratio, urea, creatinine and uric acid. On the other hand a non significant difference (p>0.05) between burn degrees in same parameters were observed. We conclude from the present study that the biochemical and metabolic changes occur in patients with different types of burns and its values didn’t depended on burn degree or types, although its values can be use to predict the extent of injury and severity of burn patients
