The additional action to be taken to ensure lab value is assessed correctly is to add a coefficient of 4 to that number to account for nitrogen lost in feces, hair, nails, and skin
Proteins contain a lot of nitrogen. The difference between the amount of nitrogen consumed and the amount excreted in the urine and faeces is known as nitrogen balance. The majority of nitrogen is excreted as urea in the urine, but between 30% and 50% of it can also be found in feces.
When it comes to the digestion of dietary carbohydrates, particularly starch and non-starch polysaccharides (dietary fibre), the human large intestine is important. Only lately has the possibility of considerable protein degradation occurring in the colon been recognised. Total nitrogen entering the human large bowel from the terminal ileum ranges from 05 to 4 g per day.
