title: [Hypoproteinemia--consequence of cause of diseases, particularly in long-term hospitalized patients].
abstract: In most cases hypoproteinemia of our patients is a result of the disease leading to hospitalization. Moreover, it may also be a consequence of unappropriate nutrition, so that it has to be pointed out with emphasis that clinics being able to furnish a great number of ferment analysis should be in a position to answer the simple question: are patients receiving adequate nutrition or not? Necessary assumption for this purpose is-besides analyses of serum-protein-in acute cases the control of nitrogen excretion in urine and in case of exact balances also in stool, in order to exactly answer the question, whether the nitrogen supply will suffice special requirements.
