Abstract:
Objective: To investigate the effective methods of nutritional support, to improve the endurance for the operation and to promote postoperative recovery in patients undergoing liver transplantation. Methods: The perioperative nutritional condition and nutritional-support methods were reviewed in 33 patients with liver transplantation. In the first 3 postoperative days, parenteral nutrition (PN) was used in combination with infusion of human albumin and plasma. From the 4th to 5th day, enteral nutrition (EN) was used in combination with PN. Finally, the complete oral intake of food was applied. Results: Of 33 patients, there were 30 patients whose serum levels of total protein (TP) and albumin (ALB) were elevated, and glutamic-pyruvic transminase (GPT), total-bilirubin (T-BIL) and combined-bilirubin (D-BIL) were descended after nutrition support. Conclusion: The operative endurance and postoperative recovery were improved effectively by proper nutritional support in liver transplantation patients.
