EFFECTS OF ENTERAL NUTRITION ON NUTRITIONAL STATUS, LIVER FUNCTION AND COAGULATION FUNCTION OF PATIENTS WITH LIVER CIRRHOSIS
GAO Qi
Objective: To explore the effects of enteral nutrition (EN) on nutritional status, liver function and coagulation function of patients with liver cirrhosis.
Methods: 184 patients with liver cirrhosis were randomly divided into control group and observation group, with 92 cases in each group. The patients in two groups were all given routine treatments, such as antiviral therapy and liver protecting treatment. On this basis, the patients in control group were given routine nutritional intervention, the patients in observation group were given EN intervention. The serological nutritional status indexes, anthropometric indicators, liver function indexes and coagulation function indexes of patients in 2 groups before intervention and 4 weeks after intervention were respectively detected.
Results: After 4 weeks intervention, the serological nutritional status indexes (TP, PA, ALB), anthropometric indicators (BMI, MAC, MAMC, TSF), liver function indexes (TBIL, ALT, AST) and coagulation function index (PT, APTT, FIB) were all obviously improved compared with that before intervention (P<0.05). Moreover, the improvement of the aboving indexes of patients in observation group were obviously better than control group (P<0.05).
Conclusions: EN therapy can effectively improve the nutritional status of patients with liver cirrhosis, and also can promote the recovery of liver function and coagulation function.
