Influence of Lipofundin vs Intralipid on lipid and energy metabolism of surgical cirrhotic patients / 中华普通外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective　To study the influence of Lipofundin vs Intralipid on lipid energy metabolism of cirrhotic patients undergoing surgery.Methods　Twenty-five patients with liver disease were randomly assigned to two PN groupsLCT group(n=12) and MC/LCT group (n=13).Fat energy in group LCT was supplied by 20%-Intralipid,Group MCT/LCT was supplied by 20%-Lipofundin.All patients were on parenteral nutrition for 7 days.Intravenous fat tolerance test (IVFTT) was measured at pre-op,post-op d1、post-op d7.Carnitine （CNT） level in serum and urine,and AKBR were tested at the pre-op、post-op d1、d7.Results　The elimination rate of the MCT was faster than that of LCT at pre-op and post-op d7,the elimination rate of LCT at post-op d1 was faster than that of at pre-op and post-op d7.Serum CNT increased in both groups,urine CNT markedly decreasd at postoperation,but in LCT group CNT was at lower level as compared with MCT group at post-op d7,P＜0.05.AKBR was markedly decreased in both groups post-op,but at post-op d7,AKBR in MCT group was higher than in LCT group,P＜0.01.Conclusions　These results indicated that Lipofundin was an ideal energy source for the cirrhotic patients.
