Abstract: Severe burn causes a catabolic response with profound effects on glucose and muscle protein metabolism. Our aim is to determine whether a changes of metabolism and inflammatory protein like serum albumin and CRP and if their level can predict mortality in burn patients.Twenty seven burn patients were included in this study and compared with twenty seven healthy donors. A significant differences (p<0.001) between burn patients and control group were observed in total protein, albumin, globulin, high sensitive C reactive protein, urea, and uric acid. While a non significant increase (p>0.05) in glucose level was observed in burn patients. On the other hand a non significant difference (p>0.05) between burn degrees in same parameters were observed. We conclude from the present study that the metabolic changes occur in patients with varying degrees of burns and its values didn’t depended on burn degree, although its values can be use to predict the mortality of burn patients.
