Abstract
Hemodialysis (HD) and pressure injuries (PI) are both hypercatabolic states that may contribute to protein-energy wasting development. These conditions require increased energy and protein to prevent losses from HD and support wound healing. Nutrition support therapy using intradialytic parenteral nutrition (IDPN) with or without a combination of oral nutrition supplements has yielded positive outcomes among patients receiving HD with protein-energy wasting. However, IDPN is not a standard of care for patients with PI and receiving HD. No existing guidelines support its use with these combined complex medical conditions. We present a case of an older adult with PI receiving HD who required supplemental IDPN. This case demonstrated that IDPN helps wound healing, reduces the hospital length of stay, and enhances quality of life.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Renal Nutrition is devoted exclusively to renal nutrition science and renal dietetics. Its content is appropriate for nutritionists, physicians and researchers working in nephrology. Each issue contains a state-of-the-art review, original research, articles on the clinical management and education of patients, a current literature review, and nutritional analysis of food products that have clinical relevance.
