Levels of plasma citrulline (citrulline-P), a biomarker for enterocyte function, might be useful for the monitoring the course of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). Our aim was to evaluate whether citrulline-P levels during the first 48h (h) after NEC onset were associated with need for surgery, survival, and intestinal recovery. In preterm infants with NEC (Bell's stage ≥2) we measured citrulline-P levels during the first 48h after NEC onset.
