The incidence of catheter-related sepsis and metabolic derangements induced by total parenteral nutrition had been studied extensively. However, the incidence of symptomatic metabolic complications was seldom discussed in Taiwan. Two hundred and twenty six adult patients received TPN were recruited during 1-year period. The incidence of metabolic abnormalities were identified and recorded. At least one metabolic abnormality was found in 35.4% of the patients. The data were hyperglycemia(>300mg/dL), 20.8%; hypoglycemia(< 65mg/dL), 0.9%; hypernatremia (>150mEq/L), 3.1%; hyponatremia(<125mEq/L), 3.1%; hyperkalemia(> 5.5mEq/L), 2.2%; hypokalemia(< 3mEq/L), 11.9%; hyperphosphatemia(> 5.5mg/dL), 2.2%; hypophosphatemia(< 2mg/dL), 10.2% and hypomagnesemia(< 1.5mg/dL), 0.45%. No metabolic abnormalities associated clinical event were detected. Our data indicate that the incidence of metabolic abnormalities induced by TPN are high. However, symptomatic metabolic complications can be prevented by appropriate monitoring system. |
