Popis:	Objective: To explore the role of first day levels and subsequent trends of serum proteins as prognostic indicators in acute burns.Methods: This prospective observational study was carried on 100 burn patients (18-60 years with 20% to 60% total burned body surface area). Serum albumin, globulin and total protein were estimated on alternate days starting from first day of burn. The first day value and the trend of serial values throughout the clinical course were compared between survivor and non-survivor groups.Results: Mean day 1 serum values of albumin, globulin, and total protein were significantly higher in the survivors compared to non-survivors (P
