Biochemical Parameters And The Nutritional Status Of Children by Anil Gupta, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

Biochemical parameters represent better, precise, and objective tools toward the assessment of nutritional status of children in comparison to anthropometric, clinical, and dietary methods. They constitute laboratory tests to estimate the concentration of circulating nutrients in body fluids. Biochemical parameters are suggestive of acute or subclinical conditions when other methods of nutritional assessment fail to interpret the condition. These parameters exhibit substantial variability in their reproducibility. Moreover, these parameters are novel tools in the hands of the clinicians for the screening of nutritional status of children.
