Abstract:Objective:To seek effective methods for postoperative nutrition support to promote postoperative recovery of liver transplantation.
Methods:Different methods for nutrition support were selected for 48 liver transplantation patients. After recovery of gastrointestinal functions, EN in combination with PN and with infusion of human albumin was begun as early as possible. For patients with serious malnutrition, EN was used in combination with PN+rhGH+Gln, or TPN+rhGH+Gln, and with infusion of human albumin.
Results:There was no occurrence of complications resulting from nutrition support. All patients had a smooth perioperative period and recovered.
Conclusions:Effective postoperative nutrition support plays an important role in improving the survival rate of liver graft and promote postoperative recovery.
