    Glossary Negative Nitrogen Balance

    body loses more nitrogen than it gains from food

    Negative nitrogen balance occurs when the body excretes more nitrogen than it takes in through food. This can happen due to inadequate protein intake, illness, or severe stress, leading to muscle wasting and impaired growth or healing. For professionals, it indicates a catabolic state where the body is breaking down muscle tissue to meet its nitrogen needs.
