Protein is critical not only for enabling growth and development in neonatal and pediatric patients,¹ but also for maintaining lean body mass and supporting recovery in adults.² When oral or enteral protein intake is not possible, insufficient, or contraindicated, parenteral amino acid solutions can be used.^2,13Primene, Baxter’s 10% amino acid solution for neonatal and pediatric patients, contains a mixture of 20 essential, semi-essential, and non-essential amino acids and is designed to mimic cord plasma levels of preterm and fullterm infants.^3,4 Synthamin, Baxter’s amino acid solution portfolio for adult patients, contains 15 essential and non-essential amino acids.^5-10

Inadequate amino acid intake can disrupt nitrogen balance

Proteins, which are made up of amino acids, are the major structural and functional components of all cells in the body. Essential amino acids cannot be synthesized by humans and must be provided in the diet or via PN, whereas non-essential amino acids can be made from other amino acids or precursors. Some amino acids are semi-essential, meaning that their synthesis is limited under certain circumstances. The required intake of each essential and semi-essential amino acid is the amount necessary to maintain nitrogen balance, and in neonatal and pediatric patients, to generate adequate growth.¹¹ In neonatal and pediatric patients, inadequate amino acid supply can lead to impaired growth and neurodevelopment,¹ while in adult patients, lack of proteins can impact recovery, wound healing and immune function.² Still, protein intake is often far below the current guideline recommendations.^{2, 12-14, 20}
