THE CLINICAL RELATIONSHIP OF PROTEINS AND THE PROTEIN METABOLISM TO THERAPY WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO SURGERY

ABRAHAM O. WILENSKY, M.D.

Arch Surg. 1944;48(1):36-52.

	Since this article does not have an abstract, we have provided the first 150 words of the full text PDF and any section headings.

This communication will concern itself with the increasing clinical importance of the proteins and protein metabolism in medicine, especially in surgery, and the relationship of hypoproteinemia to apparent and to latent hepatic parenchymal disease. Necessarily it will include a review of all of the available knowledge concerning this branch of normal physiology and of the aberrations of function which occur in disease. It will indicate the extent to which these obtainable data can be used (1) in the corroboration of diagnoses, (2) in the possibility of estimating the degree and the extent of anatomic change, (3) in prognosis and (4) in the evaluation of the risk of contemplated operations. Finally, it will include (5) criteria on which the newer therapeutic measures can be employed.
