question

Why might some biochemical (eg plasma or serum) indices of micronutrient status give misleading results in people with infections or inflammatory states?

choices

  1. Because people who are sick often alter their diets, and may eat less food.
  2. Because the accuracy of some laboratory assays may be compromised in samples from people who are sick.
  3. Because some metabolic pathways are altered in sick people, which changes their micronutrient requirements.
  4. Because an acute phase reaction results in changes in inter-tissue distributions of certain micronutrients.
