Abstract |
: |
The anorexia of chronic renal failure (CRF) is
frequently managed with enteral feeds using combinations
of commercial preparations, glucose polymers and fat
emulsions. Such feeds might predispose to atherogenic
blood lipid profiles. Our aim, therefore, was to compare the
blood lipid profiles of enterally fed and non-enterally fed
children. Plasma lipid subfractions were measured in
37 children with CRF managed conservatively and 10
managed with peritoneal dialysis (PD); 10 of the children
were tube fed, 5 of whom were on PD. Results were
compared between these groups. Overall, triglycerides
(TGs, mean + SD) were high (2.3+1.4 mmol/l) and total
cholesterol (TC) was at the upper limit of normal
(5.2+1.5 mmol/l). Low-density lipoprotein (LDL), highdensity
lipoprotein (HDL), apoprotein A1 (apo A1), A2
(apo A2) and B (apo B), and lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)] were
within the normal range. There was an inverse correlation
between TGs and glomerular filtration rate (P = 0.0001).
There were no differences in the levels of TC, TG, LDL,
HDL, apo A1, apo A2 or Lp(a) between tube-fed and nontube-
fed children. We conclude that enteral feeding does
not enhance hyperlipidaemia |
