[The nutritional status in malabsorption syndrome following gastrointestinal operations]. 1984

K Vetter, and H Gutschlag, and G Schmoz, and I Kaschube, and W Lüder

The nutritional status which includes selected biochemical, anthropometric and immunologic parameters was determined in 36 patients with malabsorption syndromes following gastrointestinal operations. The examinations revealed: Postoperative malabsorption syndromes often lead to considerable nutritional disturbances which cannot be sufficiently estimated by the sole determination of body mass. The nutritional status is a precious tool in judging deficiency symptoms, in instituting a targeted alimentary or substitutive therapy,and in evaluating the therapeutic accomplishment. Optimal long-time alimentary or substitutive therapy permits to achieve and maintain a good or sufficient nutritional status in patients with malabsorption syndromes even if the syndromes are due to extended gastrointestinal operations.
