Anything out of place in this (slightly medical) paragraph?
The subject is (effectively) malnutrition of burn patients. As a non-native speaker, I'd be delightful for any criticism whatsoever ... tear it apart! 
Introduction: Extensive burn injury results in large shifts of bodily fluids. There is an increased loss of fluids and proteins into interstitium. The early stages are marked with a hypermetabolic response of magnitude seen only in a burn injury and which lasts till the burn wounds are healed, which may take several months. Immediate fluid resuscitation with Ringer lactate, which contains physiological-like concentrations of major electrolytes, is of vital importance. In addition, we make use of early nutritional support: in the early phase of treatment most often a combination of enteral and parenteral feeding. Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to present the nutritional needs of a patient with a major burn injury, methods of detecting suboptimal nutrient intake, as well as ways of achieving sufficient nutritional support. Methods: The thesis has used descriptive method of reviewing foreign and domestic literature, presentation of a case study, inspection of documents or other data pertaining to burn patients with regard to their diet, and evaluation of patients' recovery monitoring by means of weighing. Searching the literature was aided by electronic databases PubMed, <snipped>; paper monographs were found with the help of the Slovenian online bibliographic system COBISS. Results: Examining the burn patients' data has revealed a drop in the frequency of patients' nutritional status monitoring. Discussion and conclusion: Nutrition of a critically ill, a burn patient in the thesis, is the subject of many studies which all agree that immediate enteral nutrition is a significant form of treatment and not just its support. Clearly defined responsibilities, better cooperation between health professionals, and the adoption of dietary guidelines and protocols would prevent quite a few cases of severe malnutrition and would greatly reduce the time and cost of treatment.

This document is perplexing and, as Clive has observed, merits reanalysis.
While it is true that a thesis is “a long essay or dissertation involving personal research, written by a candidate for a university degree. Example: a doctoral thesis,”(1) your methods indicate that you conducted a literature review, an observational analysis of one case study, and evaluations of recovery based

Indeed, I'm doing just a translation part of the abstract ... if there is anything wrong with regards to grammar and such (I'm almost sure there is), please let me know as well.
Otherwise, your criticism is well reasoned (there isambiguity in presenting the purpose of the thesis) and will surely forward it to the original author.

As a physician with a Ph.D in medical publishing, I cannot correct what appears to be bad science.
I strongly suggest that you consult with the author to ascertain whether he or she clearly understands how to write a research manuscript, and that the documents being given to you for translation are lucid.
