Net protein anabolism with hypocaloric parenteral nutrition in obese stressed patients

RN Dickerson, EF Rosato and JL Mullen

Thirteen obese patients requiring parenteral nutrition for postoperative complications were studied prospectively to evaluate the efficacy of hypocaloric, high-protein parenteral feeding. Nonprotein caloric intake averaged 881 kcal/d or 51.5% of the patients' measured resting energy expenditure. Protein intake averaged 2.13 +/- 0.59 g/kg IBW. Serum albumin and TIBC increased significantly (2.8 +/- 0.5 g/dL to 3.2 +/- 0.4 g/dL, p less than 0.01, and 196 +/- 39 micrograms/dL to 248 +/- 49 micrograms/dL, p less than 0.05, respectively), and subjects lost weight (120.0 +/- 60.0 kg to 109.7 +/- 32.5 kg, p less than 0.05). Nitrogen balance studies in eight subjects suggested nitrogen equilibrium or positive balance can be achieved (+2.4 +/- 1.9 g/d). All patients exhibited complete tissue healing of wounds and abscess cavities and closure of fistulae. In obese, protein-depleted surgical patients net protein anabolism and clinical efficacy can be achieved with hypocaloric, high-protein feeding. Abundant endogenous fat stores provide obligatory energy.
