Citrulline is an amino acid mainly produced by enterocytes from glutamine. Citrullinemia ≤ 20μmol/L is a biomarker of enterocyte mass reduction, secondary to the reduction of small bowel length or secondary to villous atrophy diseases. A patient with low citrullinemia is probably at risk of enteral
