Abstract
In the present study, free alkaline RNase was measured in plasma and urine of normal and malnourished children. Levels of this enzyme in plasma and the urine/plasma ratio make it possible to discriminate between normal and malnourished children with even a mild degree of malnutrition.Keywords
