LOINC description : Resting metabolic rate (RMR), sometimes called resting energy expenditure (EE), can
be measured by direct calorimetry using a metabolic chamber. In the chamber, the difference
in the temperature of water entering and leaving the chamber reflects the patient's
heat production. Direct calorimetry is conducted in controlled environmental chambers,
but the clinical and practical application using this technique is quite limited.[PMCID:
