Lipid Emulsion Type and Liver Function in Parenteral Nutrition Patients: A Retrospective Study of Patients and Prescribing Practices.

Unlabelled: Parenteral nutrition (PN) is a life-sustaining method to provide adequate nutrients to patients unable to receive oral or enteral nutrition. PN typically contains a mixture of macro- and micro-nutrients, although the lipid composition has been identified as a concern for liver disease. Therefore, the study of the intravenous lipid emulsion (ILE) prescribing practices in home-based PN (HPN) patients and whether differing lipid PN alters liver function tests (LFTs) is needed.

Noncompliance/Nonadherence With Home Nutrition Support: An Underrecognized Clinical Dilemma.

Failure to administer enteral nutrition, intravenous fluids, and/or parenteral nutrition solutions can have deleterious effects on patients who have been prescribed such therapies. However, it is not well understood why patients requiring nutrition support would be noncompliant or nonadherent to these often life-benefiting therapies. This article explores these issues in a large home nutrition support population.
