<prompt> Minimum nitrogen required for an adult with dynamic tissue turnover to maintain a positive nitrogen balance is3.5-4.5 g5.5-6.5 g7.5-8.5 g9.5-10.5 g  <response>: .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 gkg per day. Nitrogen need increases to 0.25 gkgday in hyper catabolic status. ref:SRB;s manual of surgery,ed 3,pg no 86
