“…44 Furthermore, in order to avoid complications such as refeeding syndrome which may lead to sudden cardiac death, patients should realistically be gaining 2-3 lb/week during the nutritional rehabilitation period. 39,45 Patients being rushed toward health in an effort to treat within cost constraints may actually be endangered as recovery is, by its nature, time-dependent. On the other hand, weight gain in treatment at a rate that is too slow has been correlated with readmission to hospital.…”

[8][9][10][11][12] Although most individuals recover, ~25% develop a chronic and relapsing course. 13 AN ranks among the ten leading causes of disability among young women 14 and has one of the highest mortality rates of any psychiatric disorder.…”

“…A Anorexia nervosa, devido às suas graves consequências nos sistemas orgânicos decorrentes da desnutrição 22,23 , associada à gravidade ainda maior quando diagnosticada em crianças e adolescentes por influenciar diretamente o desenvolvimento e o crescimento 24,25 , torna-se o diagnós- tico de TA mais prevalente nas intervenções hospitalares [26][27][28] . A distribuição dos pacientes internados pelo GRATA de acordo com o diagnóstico, demonstrou preponderância de AN, sobretudo em seu subtipo restritivo.…”

“…Em pacientes gravemente desnutridos, como nos casos de AN, suas concentrações podem ser mais baixas, pois o consumo alimentar inadequado associado às baixas reservas proteicas, podem diminuir sua síntese no fígado 29 . Em contrapartida, evidências atuais têm demonstrado que as concentrações séricas de albumina mesmo em pacientes com desnutrição importante, geralmente são normais 25,[30][31][32] . A razão para isto não é muito bem conhecida, mas pesquisadores sugerem que os níveis normais podem refletir a preservação relativa de proteína frente à redução do consumo ou a uma mudança nas concentrações de albumina do meio extravascular para o intravascular 29 .…”
