The binding of thiopentone to kwashiorkor serum.
The binding of thiopentone to normal and kwashiorkor serum has been investigated. It has been confirmed that thiopentone is bound to albumin predominantly. In kwashiorkor serum, less binding to albumin occurs, but secondary binding sites appear. The significance of these observations is discussed.
