Why does a COPD patient have a positive nitrogen balance?
COPD patients usually don't have a positive nitrogen balance, as the disease is more often associated with a general exhaustion of the body, and as such a net loss of total body protein. If a COPD patient does have a positive nitrogen balance, it simply means that the patient has eaten more protein than what has been broken down and excreted. This would most likely be associated with a positive net caloric intake and a gain of muscle weight.
