Abstract:
Objectives:To observe the role of nutritional support in patients after liver transplantation. Methods:Nutritional support was used in three patients after orthotopic liver transplantation(OLT).Total parenteral nutrition(TPN) was administered since the second day after the operation,the combination of enteral nutrition(EN) and parenteral nutrition(PN) was followed and then total enteral nutrition(TEN) was adopted.After that,oral intake of food was restored. Results:Postoperative patients were restored well. Conclusions:The supply of nutrition for patients after liver transplantation should be TPN→PN+EN→TEN,and then gradually increased.Once the gastroenteric functions of patients recover it is advisable to start EN as soon as possible.
