Introduction: Patients with short bowel syndrome (SBS) may exhibit enteric hyperoxaluria (EH), and the prevalence of oxalate nephropathy in SBS is likely underestimated. Plasma oxalate (POx) is a surrogate of systemic oxalate deposition and, consequently, may increase the risk of developing chronic kidney disease (CKD). The main objective of this study was to explore the distribution of POx levels in patients with SBS.

The evolution in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) over time is poorly characterized. The current equations for estimating GFR have limited precision.

The aim of this study was to evaluate vitamin C status and determine if a commercial multivitamin preparation (CMVP) containing 125 mg of vitamin C is sufficient in stable patients on HPN. All clinically stable patients receiving HPN or an intravenous fluid infusion at least two times per week for at least 6 months, hospitalized for nutritional assessment, were retrospectively included, for a total of 186 patients.

These patients demonstrate increased cholesterol synthesis and hepatic lipogenesis. These lipid disturbances may be due to a decreased concentration of the bile acid pool or malabsorption.

- The study investigates how certain factors influence food intake in patients with short bowel syndrome (SBS) who rely on parenteral nutrition (PN).
- Researchers analyzed data from 38 adult patients, finding that oral energy intake (OEI) positively correlates with body weight, fat-free mass, and handgrip strength, while negatively correlating with specific thyroid hormones and inflammation markers.
- The results suggest that increasing fat-free mass could enhance food consumption in these patients; however, further research is necessary to explore this potential strategy for improving nutritional status.
