Long-term nutritional outcome after pediatric intestinal transplantation

Interposition of a Reversed Jejunal Segment Enhances Intestinal Adaptation in Short Bowel Syndrome: An Experimental Study on Pigs

“…In any case, the relatively short duration of our study should also be taken into account, as this may have hindered the long-term effects of the reversed segment upon body weight. Finally, the findings concerning serum albumin, which also represents a well-studied nutritional status-related factor [36,37], are in complete accordance with those derived from body weight, indicating no significant preponderance of the SB-RS group.…”

The Optimal Timing of Intestinal Transplantation for Children With Intestinal Failure

“…34 After transplantation, 80% to 95% of children become independent of PN, grow normally and attend school. 1,27,46,47 FIGURE 3. Selected one-way sensitivity analyses.…”

Poor Effect of Glutamin and Human-EGF on Autologic-Allotopic Transplanted Ileum Mucosa

“…As small-bowel transplantation shows 3-year survival rates of 55 to 60 % (12,13,15,18) and rejection rates of 70 to 95% (12,18), this method is the last therapeutic alternative. In addition, long-term immunosuppression is necessary with the risks of viral infection, renal and liver failure, and lymphoproliferative diseases (18).…”
