Minimum nitrogen required for an adult with dynamic tissue turnover to maintain a positive nitrogen balance is

.minimum nitrogen required for an adult with dynamic tissue turnover to maintain a positive nitrogen balance is about 5.5 to 6.5 g.* Glucose requirement is 200 g per day; fat requirement is 200 g per week; nitrogen (protein) requirement is 0.15 g/kg per day. Nitrogen need increases to 0.25 g/kg/day in hyper catabolic status. ref:SRB&;s manual of surgery,ed 3,pg no 86
