Plasma citrulline may be a good marker of intestinal functions in intestinal dysfunction

Plasma citrulline has been reported to be a good indicator of intestinal functional volume in patients with intestinal dysfunction. We reconfirmed the facts and also investigated the dynamic changes of plasma citrulline in acute‐phase patients with intestinal dysfunction.
