title: Evaluation of a high nitrogen source amino acid solution ('Aminofusin' L Forte).
abstract: A new high concentration nitrogen source solution ('Aminofusin' L Forte) was evaluated in 9 patients requiring complete parenteral nutrition regimens. Excellent clinical tolerance was observed and the solution proved capable of maintaining patients in nitrogen balance. Although the non-essential part of the amino acid profile is incomplete, no significant deviations from the normal range in plasma amino acid concentrations were noted. It is concluded that the solution is a useful addition to the range of amino acid preparations available for intravenous feeding.
