protein calorie malnutrition
Abstract
Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) may result in nutritional deficiencies, mainly involving micronutrients, and occasionally protein-calorie malnutrition (PCM) because of the resulting anatomic and functional changes. Failure of conservative PCM treatment may be an indication for corrective surgery, where the technique may vary according to the surgical cause of the malnutrition. In this study, we present the results of the reconnection of the duodenum and the proximal jejunum to the alimentary tract for the treatment of severe PCM caused by malabsorption after RYGB.

Laboratory testing to identify PCM
Identifying Malnutrition in Time to Make a Difference
by Cindy Mulder MS, MSN, RNC, CNP
APPROXIMATELY 30% TO 60% of hospitalized patients have protein-calorie malnutrition (PCM)—a condition that increases the time needed to recover from injuries, raises the number of complications, and lengthens hospital stay. But early detection of nutritional deficiencies can improve patient outcomes and decrease healthcare costs.
The Prealbumin Advantage
For years, assessing nutritional status meant measuring a patient’s albumin level. But albumin has a half-life of 20 days, so the albumin level changes slowly in response to reduced protein intake. While that makes albumin a good indicator of chronic malnutrition, it means it’s not a good tool for identifying patients at risk for PCM or for monitoring the short-term effects of nutritional therapy.

Monitor laboratory studies (Hb and Hct, electrolytes, and total protein, prealbumin).
Rationale
Indicators of fluid and nutritional needs and effectiveness of therapy, and detects developing complications.
