Description
Summary:	The underlying metabolism and daily energy losses were studied in 22 patients with malignant tumours of the stomach and in 51 patients with pyloric stenosis and duodenal ulcer, preoperatively and over the first 9 days postoperatively. The preoperative studies revealed a rise in the underlying metabolism rate by 43.7 and 28.2%, respectively in the patients of both groups as compared to the metabolism in healthy individuals of the same sex, weight, height and age. Postoperatively, the underlying metabolism rate dropped in the oncological patients to the level seen in healthy people, whereas in duodenal ulcer patients the metabolic rates remained elevated. The patients' energy requirements are calculated respectively as 25-30 and 41-45 kcal per 1 kg body weight daily.
