ABSTRACT
Objective: To overview the experience of postoperative nutritional management in live transplant patients. Methods: Postoperative nutritional therapy and nutritional status assessment in 18 liver transplantation (2 patients undergone retransplantation) were retrospectively analyzed. During the first 3 days after operation, patients were supported with total parenteral nutrition (TPN) and supplied with human albumin. On the 4th and 5th days after operation, patients were provided with parenteral nutrition (PN) and enteral nutrition (EN). And on days 6～10 after operation, patients were gradually transferred to total enteral nutrition and they restored the oral intake completely on days 12～18 after operation. Recombinant human growth hormone was postoperatively injected for 4～7 days. Results: Despite 3 cases who died from brain hemorrhage, respiratory failure and acute rejection respectively, other 13 cases recovered fluently. Conclusions: Appropriate postoperative nutritional therapy facilitated the recovery of liver transplant patient.
ABSTRACT
Objectives:To study the clinical significance of prealbumin and retinol binding protein in parenteral nutrition assessment. Methods:Serum prealbumin,retinol binding protein,transferrin and albumin were determined respectively before and a week after total parenteral nutrition(TPN) support in 40 cases with gastrointestinal diseases. Results:A week after TPN,plasma prealbumin and retinol binding protein concentrations increased significantly( P
