alnutrition is associated with worse prognosis, a higher risk of infections and complications, worse regeneration of

wounds, longer hospitalization, the increase of the total costs of treatment and higher mortality rate. Therefore, early

identification of patients suffering from malnutrition should be considered a priority and so should be the actions aiming

at the prevention of this problem. One of the most popular markers of malnutrition is lymphocyte concentrate. It is very

cheap and routinely used. The aim of the study is to investigate the influence that the protein acquired from the kitchen

diet has on lymphocyte concentrate in comparison to the influence that the protein acquired from the industrial diet has

on this concentrate. The study group consists of enterally fed post-stroke patients (58 people: 34 fed home-made diet and

28 fed industrial diet). Patients were fed for 14 days. In the kitchen diet group, there was 28.5 g of protein and a decrease in

concentration was observed (p<0.05). In the industrial diet group, there was 53.5 g of protein and an increase in lymphocyte

concentration has been demonstrated (p<0.05). Lymphocyte concentrate is sensitive on to protein content in diet and it can be

used as a cheap and popular marker in malnutrition.
