Abstract: This study was designed to examine circulating and urine cytokine levels in patients receiving long-term home total parenteral nutrition (TPN) support. Twelve patients who had been receiving home TPN for more than 1 year (range, 1.3-19.5 years) were enrolled for study. To avoid the potential confounding effects of intercurrent infection, patients were studied during periods of clinical stability without clinical evidence of infection. Ten normal healthy volunteers served as controls. Serum levels of albumin an… Show more

“…PN-dependent patients are at risk for bone disease owing to continued exposure to aluminum in PN, low serum 25(OH) vitamin D (25(OH)D) (6, 7) and insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-1 and/or IGF-binding protein-3 (IGF-BP3) concentrations, and chronic inflammation (7, 8). To our knowledge, there is only one published study that systematically examined bone mineral density (BMD) of infants and children with PN-dependent IF.…”

“…We have previously published the findings that IL-6 and sTNF receptor- II in urine and serum and TNFα in urine are elevated in a larger cohort of HPN patients compared with controls [18]. At that time, arachidonic acid in serum phospholipids and triglycerides was substantially elevated, and relative conversion from linoleic acid was similarly increased.…”

“…In our HPN patients, we have documented elevations in sensitive markers of inflammation [soluble tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor and interleukin-6 (IL-6)] [4], although not to the levels seen in obvious inflammatory states. Others have shown that the proportion of fat energy in HPN predicts the future development of PN-associated liver dysfunction [5,6].…”
