ENTERAL FEEDING IN PATIENTS WITH INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE

Abstract

Uloga enteralne prehrane u liječenju kronične upalne bolesti crijeva još uvijek nije jasno definirana. U radu su prikazane posljedice malnutricije kao jednog od osnovnih simptoma kronične upalne bolesti crijeva te, sukladno tome, njihovo liječenje. Iz prikazanog jasna je potreba suportivne terapije adekvatnim enteralnim pripravcima. To se posebice odnosi na dječju populaciju oboljelih budući da poremećaj rasta i razvoja ima dalekosežne posljedice. Važnost potpune enteralne prehrane kao inicijalne terapije još nema adekvatnog odgovora i zahtijeva daljnje prospektivne analize. Prikazane su i neke nove mogu}nosti prehrane u liječenju kronične upalne bolesti crijeva, koje predstavljaju moguću budć}nost u terapiji tih bolestiThe purpose of enteral feeding in the inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) has not been well defined yet. This article presents the consequences of malnutrition, as one of the basic symptoms of IBD and its therapy, respectively. As it is shown here, a supportive therapy with adequate enteral feeding is of great value, especially in pediatric patients due to long-term consequences of the growth failure and the failure to thrive. A complete enteral feeding as a primary and the only therapy in IBD has not been established completely yet and needs further analyses. We have shown some new ways of the enteral treatment of IBD that could be a future therapy of these illnesse
