Plasma glutamine concentration is a reflection of a number of processes. In metabolic stress and in particular in critical illness the plasma level may deviate from the normal range, which is associated with an unfavorable outcome. The underlying mechanisms are still obscure. This chapter merely deals with the empirically finding of plasma glutamine concentration in humans in health and disease.
