title: [10 acute-phase reactive proteins and burn metabolism].
abstract: In order to delineate the relation between acute-phase reaction and burn metabolism, ten serum acute-phase reactive proteins, resting energy expenditure, some hormones and urine nitrogen were assayed in 23 adults with burn of 40%-60% TBSA immediately after the injury to the 10th day postburn. The results were as follows: 1. the levels of Palb, TF, FN and CP were reduced immediately after burn. They were still lower than normal on PBD10; 2. The levels of a-AT, C3c and C4 were decreased slightly, then increased. They were already higher than normal on PBD10; 3. On PBD1, the levels of CRP, HP and a-AG were higher than normal, and then they continued to increase. They were directly proportional to REE and urine nitrogen. It was thought that some serum acute-phase reactive proteins were correlative with metabolism after burn. CPR, a-AG and HP could be used as referential indices to predict change in energy expenditure after burn.
