title: [Chronic digestive loss of plasma proteins evaluated with 51Cr-albumin in Billroth I and II gastrectomized patients].
abstract: The digestive clearance of albumin 51Cr was determined in patients submitted to gastrectomy due to peptic ulcer, 6 to 18 months after surgery. Patients were of both sexes, with ages varying from 24 to 70 years. Reconstruction after resection was according to Billroth I and II techniques (groups B and C). The group of control (group A) presented no digestive illness. Each group was represented by 10 individuals. The mean value and respective standard derivation for each group was respectively: Group A: 16,4 +/- 4,6; Group B: 22,0 +/- 8,1; Group C: 35,8 +/- 14,4. Comparing the mean values according to the Tukey test, significance was observed at the alpha = 0.05 level between A and C groups and B and C ones.
