69429-9
LaboratoryMetabolic rate --resting
Definition
Resting metabolic rate (RMR) is frequently estimated in clinical medicine to determine minimal energy requirements for patients receiving nutritional therapy. RMR estimates are also used to counsel patients regarding caloric intake in weight loss programs. RMR measurement by indirect calorimetry requires quantification of oxygen consumption and sometimes carbon dioxide production while a patient is resting.
