What is the nonprotein calorie to nitrogen ratio of a patient receiving TPN consisting of the following parentral nutrition solution 500ml 30 dextrose 500ml 20lipid 500ml 8.5 amino acid?
Calorie to nitrogen ratio= Kcals per day/gram nitrogen per day To find out nitrogen gms= protein in gms/ 6.25 500 ml of 8.5 amino acid has 42.5gms protein that divided by 6.25= 6.8 gms The calories from dextrose and lipids have 1000 and 510 calories respectively Now divide 1510 non protein calories/ 6.8 =222 Hope this helps
