Nutrition and Wound Healing

Jorge E. Albina, MD

From the Department of Surgery, Brown University School of Medicine, Rhode Island Hospital, Providence

A role for nutrition therapy in the regulation of wound healing has been predicated on two concepts. The first is that malnutrition increases the risk of wound-related complications. The second is that dietary intervention, either in the form of complete nutrition support or as single nutrient supplementation, can improve or accelerate the wound-healing response. Although frequently stated and extensively discussed, these two concepts are not supported by objective data. (Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition 18:367–376 1994)
