Popis: The protein requirement of the preterm and term infant approximates 2 to 3 gm/kg/day during early infancy. Although the requirements for individual amino acids are not precisely defined, it would appear that the newer parenteral amino acid solutions adequately meet recommended intakes for most amino acids and appear to be more ideally suited to the special needs of the very low birth weight infant.
