Nutrition Options in Short-Bowel Syndrome
By David G. Binion, MD, and Zachary Zator, MD
ntestinal transplantation is an option for select patients with shortbowel syndrome
associated intestinal failure SS who fail or do not tolerate nutritional rehabilitation
here are a range of factors to consider in the nutritional management of patients
before and after intestinal transplantation
SS can be defined as the inability to maintain proper nutritional balance — including
of proteins, electrolytes, macronutrients, micronutrients, and fluids — while adhering
to a conventional diet in the face of an anatomically or functionally limited gut surface
he ideal management of patients with SS involves a multidisciplinary team of
gastro enterologists, nurses, dietitians, pharmacists, and surgeons Pharmacotherapeutic
agents aimed at minimiing fluid losses have been routinely employed to support these
patients or instance, antidiarrheal agents, such as loperamide or diphenoylate, are
used alongside proton pump inhibitors Somatostatin analogs, like octreotide, inhibit
gastrointestinal secretions from the stomach, pancreas, and intestines and have been
proven beneficial in the past owever, their role can be limited, as somatostatin can
st actually inhibit enteral protein synthesis n recent years, attention has turned beyond
mere supportive care to potentially therapeutic pharmacologic agents, such as teduglutide,
a human recombinant
P analog, which was approved in
lucagonlike peptide
P is secreted in response to luminal nutrients reaching
the distal ileum and colon, and promotes the growth of intestinal mucosa by increasing
mesenteric blood flow, decreasing gastric acid secretion, and enhancing crypt cell growth
