Growth Factors and Nutrients in the Short Bowel Syndrome

ABSTR.ACT. Massive intestinal resection often results in long-term dependence on parenteral nutrition (TPN). In an effort to enhance bowel rehabilitation, the amino acid glutamine, growth hormone and a diet optimized to enhance absorption have been administered to >300 patients with the short bowel syndrome. Initially about 60% of the patients were weaned from TPN and an additional 30% had reduced TPN requirements. At long-term follow up (2 years) 40% of the group remained off TPN, 40% had reduced TPN requirements, and 20% had the same requirements. This report addresses issues such as the optimization of diet and provides a care map which should enhance the rehabilitation of patients with the short bowel syndrome.
