چکیده
BACKGROUND Patients with short bowel syndrome have significant fluid and electrolytes loss. OBJECTIVE Evaluate the mineral and electrolyte status in short bowel syndrome patients receiving intermittent parenteral nutrition or oral feeding. METHODS Twenty two adults with short bowel syndrome, of whom 11 were parenteral nutrition dependent (PN group), and the 11 remaining had been weaned off parenteral nutrition for at least 1 year and received all nutrients by oral feeding (OF group). The study also included 14 healthy volunteers paired by age and gender (control group). Food ingestion, anthropometry, serum or plasma levels of sodium, potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, calcium, zinc, iron and copper were evaluated. PN group subjects were evaluated before starting a new parenteral nutrition cycle. RESULTS The levels of sodium, potassium, phosphorus, calcium and zinc were similar between the groups. The magnesium value was lower in the PN group (1.0 ± 0.4 mEq /L) than other groups. Furthermore, this electrolyte was lower in the OF group (1.4 ± 0.3 mEq /L) when compared to the Control group (1.8 ± 0.1 mEq/L). Lower values of copper (69±24 vs 73±26 vs 109±16 µg/dL) were documented, respectively, for the PN and OF groups when compared to the control group. CONCLUSION Hypomagnesemia and hypocupremia are electrolyte disturbances commonly observed in short bowel syndrome. Patients with massive intestinal resection require monitoring and supplementation in order to prevent magnesium and copper deficiencies.

Early Post Operative Enteral Versus Parenteral Feeding after Esophageal Cancer Surgery
Introduction: The incidence of malnutrition in hospitalized patients is reported to be high. In particular, patients with esophageal cancer are prone to malnutrition, due to preoperative digestive system dysfunctions and short-term non-oral feeding postoperatively. Selection of an appropriate method for feeding in the postoperative period is important in these patients. Materials and Methods:...
متن کاملESPEN Guidelines on Parenteral Nutrition: gastroenterology.
Undernutrition as well as specific nutrient deficiencies has been described in patients with Crohn's disease (CD), ulcerative colitis (UC) and short bowel syndrome. In the latter, water and electrolytes disturbances may be a major problem. The present guidelines provide evidence-based recommendations for the indications, application and type of parenteral formula to be used in acute and chronic...

Objectives: Home parenteral nutrition (HPN) is occasionally used for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) after extensive small-bowel resection. However, vitamin or trace element deficiencies may occur in patients with enterostomy and intestinal inflammation. To determine whether vitamin or trace element content of supplemental total parenteral nutrition (TPN) preparations was adequate, we evaluate...

Short bowel syndrome (SBS) comprises the sequelae of nutrient, fluid, and weight loss that occurs subsequent to greatly reduced functional surface area of the small intestine. Signs and symptoms of SBS include electrolyte disturbances; deficiencies of calcium, magnesium, zinc, iron, vitamin B12, or fat-soluble vitamin deficiency; malabsorption of carbohydrates, lactose, and protein; metabolic a...

37 INTRODUCTION Rapid gastric emptying, gastric hypersecretion and intestinal malabsorption are key findings in patients with short bowel syndrome (SBS) (1–2). Fecal losses of fluids, electrolytes, and nutrients will, if not compensated for by increased oral intake (hyperphagia), lead to diminished body stores, subclinical and eventually clinical nutritional deficiencies. By definition, intesti...
