What indicators are compared against
Nutrition care criteria
Clearly defined markers that can be observed and measured. Also used to monitor and evaluate progress toward Nutrition outcomes
Indicators
Percent weight change formula
Usual weight - actual weight/
Usual weight
X100
Measures body fat reserves measures calorie reserves
Triceps skinfold thickness
Male TSF
Female TSF
- 5mm
16. 5mm
Arm muscle area measures ______ (______)
To determine, use:
Skeletal muscle mass (somatic protein)
TSF and AC ( Arm circumference)
Useful to identify possible protein energy malnutrition
Important to measure in growing children
Arm muscle Area AMA
Swollen red dry cracked lips may be an indication of
Riboflavin pyridoxine niacin deficiencies
Serum albumin maintains colloidal osmotic pressure it is a ____ protein And the normal range is
Visceral protein (blood and organs) 3.5-5
Rises with iron deficiency serum level is controlled by iron storage pool. Can be determined from total iron binding Capacity
Serum transferrin
>200 mg/dl (visceral)
Short half-life(2-3 days) picks up changes in proteins status quickly;
TTHY transthyretin, PAB prealbumin 16-40 mg/dl
Circulates with pre-albumin has the shortest half-life (12 hours)
Retinol binding protein RBP
Binds and transports retinol
3-6 mg/dl
What is the best visceral protein to evaluate nutritional status
TTHY transthyretin, PAB prealbumin
Iron containing pigment of red blood cells, Erythrocytes are produced in bone marrow
Men
Women
Pregnant
Hemoglobin
14-17 gm/dl
12-15
<=11
Volume of packed cells in whole blood
Men
women
pregnant women
Hematocrit
44%
38%
33%
Indicates size of iron storage pool
Female
Male
Serum ferritin
10-150ng/ml
12-300ng/ml
Related to muscle mass measures somatic protein
Normal range
Serum creatinine
0.6-1.4mg/dl
Ratio of creatinine excreted over 24 hours compared to height
Estimates lean body mass or somatic protein
___= normal
__-____ mild muscle depletion
CHI Creatinine height index
80%
60-80%
Related to protein intake. Indicator of renal disease. Normal range
BUN blood urea nitrogen
10-20mg/dl
Normal BUN:creatinine ratio
A renal patient should keep BUN under
10-15:1
<100
Measures glomerular filtration renal function. Normal range
Urinary creatinine clearance 115+/-20ml/min
Measures immunocompetency Decreased in protein energy malnutrition Normal\_\_ Moderate depletion Severe depletion
> 2700 cells/cu mm
900-1800
Less than 900
Direct measure of toxic effects of lead on heme synthesis increased in lead poisoning
Free erythrocyte protoporphyrin
Lead depletes iron leading to anemia and displaces calcium in the bone leading to a
Zinc deficiency
