title: [Changes of plasmatic amino acids in various cases of acute hepatic necrosis and insufficiency in man].
abstract: Changes in total and individual plasma amino acid were examined in subjects with necrosis of the liver and acute insufficiency. Quantitative variations in single amino acids and their percentages were noted in all cases. The extent of such change and the number of amino acids involved were roughly proportional to the degree of insufficiency. A continuous and persistent increase in total blood amino acids can be regarded as a poor prognostic sign, especially if accompanied by a sharp fall in necrosis enzymes. Such an increase, in fact, was only observed in extremely serious cases.
