Unexpected Serum and Urine Aluminum Concentrations in Pediatric Patients on Home Parenteral Nutrition. Nutrients 2023; 15:3597.

Abstract
The intravenous supply of aluminum (Al) present in parenteral nutrition solutions poses a high risk of the absorption of this element, which can result in metabolic bone disease, anemia, and neurological complications. The aim of this study is to determine the impact of long-term parenteral nutrition (PN) in children on serum Al concentration and its urinary excretion compared to healthy children. We evaluated serum Al concentrations and its urinary excretion in patients enrolled in the Polish home parenteral nutrition (HPN) program between 2004 and 2022. The study group included 83 patients and the control group consisted of 121 healthy children. In children whose PN was started in the neonatal period, we found higher serum Al concentrations and higher urinary Al excretion than in other subjects whose PN was started later. Only 12% of the children on chronic parenteral nutrition had serum Al concentrations of less than 5 μg/L. Healthy children in the control group had higher serum Al concentrations than those in the parenteral nutrition group, which may indicate the influence of one's environment and diet on Al serum levels.

Abstract
Patients receiving long-term parenteral nutrition (PN) are exposed to potentially toxic elements, which may accumulate in bone. Bone samples collected from seven PN patients (average = 14 years) and eighteen hip/knee samples were analyzed for Al as part of a previous investigation. Yttrium was serendipitously detected in the PN bone samples, leading to the present investigation of rare earth elements (REEs). A method for quantitating fifteen REEs in digested bone was developed based on tandem ICP-MS (ICP-MS/MS) to resolve spectral interferences. The method was validated against nine biological reference materials (RMs) for which assigned values were available for most REEs. Values found in two NIST bone SRMs (1400 Bone Ash and 1486 Bone Meal) compared favorably to those reported elsewhere. Method detection limits ranged from 0.9 ng g-1 (Tm) to 5.8 ng g-1 (Y). Median REE values in the PN patient group were at least fifteen times higher than the "control" group, and exceeded all previously reported data for eleven REEs in human bones. REE content in PN bones normalized to the Earth's upper crust revealed anomalies for Gd in two patients, likely from exposure to Gd-containing contrast agents used in MRI studies. A retrospective review of the medical record for one patient revealed an almost certain case of nephrogenic systemic fibrosis, associated with Gd exposure. Analysis of two current PN formulations showed traces of REEs with relative abundances similar to those found in the PN bones, providing convincing evidence that PN solutions were the primary source of REEs in this population.

Abstract
Patients requiring home parenteral nutrition (PN) may develop metabolic bone disease, the etiology of which can be multifactorial. We report a case of significantly low bone mass in a postmenopausal woman with history of short bowel syndrome, renal impairment, and previous radiation exposure who responded to intermittent subcutaneous administration of parathyroid hormone. Her bone mineral density normalized after she completed a course of 18 months of treatment, and a bone isotope scan was negative for skeletal malignancy.

Abstract
Metabolic bone disease (MBD) refers to the conditions that produce a diffuse decrease in bone density and strength because of an imbalance between bone resorption and bone formation. MBD can be a potential complication in patients receiving chronic parenteral nutrition (PN) therapy and the management of this condition presents a challenge for many clinicians. The etiology of PN-associated MBD is poorly understood, but traditional risk factors can include malnutrition, vitamin and mineral deficiencies, toxic contaminants in the PN solution, concomitant medications, and presence of certain disease states. Although additional studies are warranted to further elucidate the development and management of this condition, the following review discusses some of the important factors that may play a role in the genesis of PN-associated MBD and evaluates some potential strategies for the diagnosis and treatment of this complication.

Abstract
Scleroderma (systemic sclerosis) is an autoimmune disease that can affect multiple organ systems. Gastrointestinal (GI) involvement is the most common organ system involved in scleroderma. Complications of GI involvement including gastroesophageal reflux disease, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, and chronic intestinal pseudoobstruction secondary to extensive fibrosis may lead to nutritional deficiencies in these patients. Here, we discuss pathophysiology, progression of GI manifestations, and malnutrition secondary to scleroderma, and the use of enteral and parenteral nutrition to reverse severe nutritional deficiencies. Increased mortality in patients with concurrent malnutrition in systemic sclerosis, as well as the refractory nature of this malnutrition to pharmacologic therapies compels clinicians to provide novel and more invasive interventions in reversing these nutritional deficiencies. Enteral and parenteral nutrition have important implications for patients who are severely malnourished or have compromised GI function as they are relatively safe and have substantial retrospective evidence of success. Increased awareness of these therapeutic options is important when treating scleroderma-associated malnutrition.

Abstract
Patients on long-term parenteral nutrition (PN) are at significantly increased risk for the development of metabolic bone disease (MBD); this condition is characterized by incomplete mineralization of osteoid with consequent disturbances ranging from osteopenia to severe bone disease with fractures. The aim of the study was: (1) to evaluate the prevalence of MBD, (2) to identify the PN- or intestinal failure (IF)-related factors and (3) to assess annual changes of bone mineral status. Since September 2005 all patients affected by IF and treated with PN started a BMD evaluation program using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Twenty-four IF patients were included [15 with short bowel syndrome (SBS), 5 with severe protracted diarrhea and 4 with chronic intestinal pseudostruction]. The bone mineral density (BMD) Z-score was significantly lower in patients than in the control group. In our series SBS patients showed a BMD Z-score significantly higher in comparison with the medical causes of IF. No significant correlations were found between bone mineral status and PN duration and nutrient intake. Nine IF patients were submitted to a second DXA evaluation after 1 year from the baseline. All bone mineral variables were significantly increased at the second DXA evaluation. The high prevalence of MBD in IF patients undergoing long-term treatment with PN requires that these patients undergo careful and periodic monitoring of their bone mineral status; patients with congenital gut dysfunctions, such as epithelium defects and motility anomalies, are at major risk of developing this complication, probably due to the association with extra-intestinal causes of bone loss.

Abstract
Parenteral nutrition plays a vital role for patients with intestinal failure and those who are unable to maintain oral or enteral nutrition alone. Parenteral nutrition has been shown to improve clinical outcome in patients with malnutrition and intestinal tract dysfunction. The use of parenteral nutrition is not without risk of serious complications. Parenteral nutrition complications can be divided into mechanical related to vascular access, septic, and metabolic. This article provides a review on the short- and long-term complications of parenteral nutrition and their management.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review evaluates recent developments concerning aluminium contamination of products used in the preparation of parenteral nutrition solutions and the failure of the pharmaceutical industry to respond to these concerns. The difficulty in meeting the intent of the recent US Food and Drug Administration mandate to reduce aluminium exposure with currently available parenteral nutrition additives is addressed. This review also summarizes the issues associated with aluminium toxicity, the patient populations at risk, treatment options, and compounding considerations. RECENT FINDINGS Unfortunately, the published literature detailing the toxicities seen from aluminium exposure in the parenteral nutrition patient are primarily limited to those published in the 1980s and 1990s. Recent publications refer back to these classic papers and discuss the challenges that practitioners face when trying to apply the recommendations of the recently implemented Food and Drug Administration mandate with outdated literature. Few studies have been published to validate those earlier findings. SUMMARY The issues surrounding aluminium toxicity are real and must be addressed. In order to make meaningful changes in clinical practice, low aluminium parenteral nutrition additives are needed and studies must be conducted using currently available products. It remains a challenge to optimize nutritional intake from parenteral nutrition and at the same time reduce aluminium exposure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The variations of bone mineral density (BMD) during home parenteral nutrition (HPN) and their relationship with general, life style, primary disease and HPN risk factors were investigated by a follow-up study. DESIGN Patients who had BMD assessment in a previous cross-sectional survey underwent a 2nd BMD at femoral neck (FN) and lumbar spine (LS). Data about risk factors were collected by a structured questionnaire. BMD Z-score (number of standard deviations from normal values corrected for sex and age) and the annualized percent BMD change were analysed. RESULTS Sixty-five adult patients were enrolled (follow-up: 18.1+/-5.5 months). The mean BMD Z-score significantly increased at the LS (P = 0.040) and remained unchanged at FN. In multiple regression analysis, the variations of the LS Z-score during HPN negatively correlated with the female sex (P = 0.021) and the age at starting HPN (P = 0.022). The analysis of the annualized percent BMD change confirmed the results obtained by the analysis of the Z-score. No factor was associated with BMD variation at FN. CONCLUSIONS HPN was not associated with a decrease of BMD in most of the patients; LS BMD Z-score variations were related to general risk factors rather than to HPN factors, showing a negative association with age and female sex.

Abstract
Metabolic bone disease (MBD) is abnormal bone metabolism and includes the common disorders of osteoporosis and osteomalacia, which can develop in patients receiving long-term parenteral nutrition (PN). Patients who require long-term PN have significant gastrointestinal failure and malabsorption, which is generally caused by severe inflammatory bowel disease, intestinal ischemia, or malignancy. The exact cause of MBD in long-term PN patients is unknown, but its origin is thought to be multifactorial, with factors including underlying disease, effect of medications used to treat this disease (eg, corticosteroids), and various components of the PN solution. Caring for patients on long-term PN requires routine assessment and monitoring for MBD. Appropriate adjustments of the PN solution can help reduce the risk for developing PN-associated MBD and in some instances improve bone mineral density. Recent developments in pharmacologic treatment for osteoporosis show promise for patients with MBD receiving PN.

Abstract
The purpose of this review is to put into perspective the many health benefits of vitamin D and the role of vitamin D deficiency in increasing the risk of many common and serious diseases, including some common cancers, type 1 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and osteoporosis. Numerous epidemiologic studies suggest that exposure to sunlight, which enhances the production of vitamin D(3) in the skin, is important in preventing many chronic diseases. Because very few foods naturally contain vitamin D, sunlight supplies most of our vitamin D requirement. 25-Hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] is the metabolite that should be measured in the blood to determine vitamin D status. Vitamin D deficiency is prevalent in infants who are solely breastfed and who do not receive vitamin D supplementation and in adults of all ages who have increased skin pigmentation or who always wear sun protection or limit their outdoor activities. Vitamin D deficiency is often misdiagnosed as fibromyalgia. A new dietary source of vitamin D is orange juice fortified with vitamin D. Studies in both human and animal models add strength to the hypothesis that the unrecognized epidemic of vitamin D deficiency worldwide is a contributing factor of many chronic debilitating diseases. Greater awareness of the insidious consequences of vitamin D deficiency is needed. Annual measurement of serum 25(OH)D is a reasonable approach to monitoring for vitamin D deficiency. The recommended adequate intakes for vitamin D are inadequate, and, in the absence of exposure to sunlight, a minimum of 1000 IU vitamin D/d is required to maintain a healthy concentration of 25(OH)D in the blood.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The prevalence of osteoporosis was investigated in 88 patients with intestinal failure (IF). Osteoporosis was found in 67%, dependent of body mass index and age when IF occurred. In 56 patients on HPN, followed prospectively, changes in bone density were dependent on the duration of HPN; older patients had a higher increase. INTRODUCTION It has been suggested that low bone mass and negative bone balance may occur in adult patients receiving home parenteral nutrition (HPN). The aim of this study was to assess prospectively the prevalence of osteoporosis in intestinal failure (IF) patients and the changes in bone mineral density in those on long-term HPN and to analyze the factors that may influence the occurrence and evolution of osteoporosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Bone mineral density was measured at the lumbar spine and femoral neck in 88 IF patients. RESULTS At the first bone mineral density determination (baseline), the prevalence of osteoporosis was 67% in this population (median age, 52 years). Ten percent of the patients with osteoporosis experienced fragility fractures. Osteoporosis was independent of age and gender but occurred earlier in patients who had received corticosteroids. At baseline, the lumbar Z-score was positively correlated mainly to body mass index and age when IF occurred; these two parameters explained 34% of the Z-score. Repeated measurements were performed in 56 patients during long-term HPN (mean duration, 5.5 +/- 1.2 years). The changes in Z-score at the lumbar spine were dependent on the age when IF occurred and on the duration of HPN, with a synergistic effect between them. The older the patients, the higher the increase in Z-score during HPN. CONCLUSION HPN had no deleterious effect on cortical bone and actually improved trabecular bone in patients whose intestinal disease started after the age of 21 years.

Abstract
The incidence of parenteral nutrition-associated metabolic bone disease is unknown. Initial reports from the early 1980s suggested that both osteoporosis and osteomalacia were quite common in patients who receive long-term parenteral nutrition. The findings described in these early surveys provide a snapshot into the many factors that contribute to the development of metabolic bone disease. More recent evidence suggests that bone loss may not be as great with the initiation of parenteral nutrition as once was thought, and that most of the metabolic bone disease that is noted may be related to the patient's underlying illness. Although this recent information is reassuring, it is of the utmost importance to provide parenteral nutrition that minimizes further bone loss and promotes the formation of new bone. This review will describe the general features of metabolic bone disease and the abnormalities noted with parenteral nutrition-associated metabolic bone disease, highlight the importance of preexisting illness and parenteral nutrition associated factors that contribute to the development of metabolic bone disease, and finally discuss an approach to avoid this debilitating complication of long-term parenteral nutrition.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients receiving home parenteral nutrition (HPN) because of intestinal failure are at high risk of developing osteoporosis. OBJECTIVE We studied the effect of the bisphosphonate clodronate on bone mineral density (BMD) and markers of bone turnover in HPN patients. DESIGN A 12-mo, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial was conducted to study the effect of 1500 mg clodronate, given intravenously every 3 mo for 1 y, in 20 HPN patients with a bone mass T score of the hip or lumbar spine of less than -1. The main outcome measure was the difference in the mean percentage change in the BMD of the lumbar spine measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Secondary outcome measures included changes in the BMD of the hip, forearm, and total body and biochemical markers of bone turnover, ie, serum osteocalcin, urinary pyridinoline, and urinary deoxypyridinoline. RESULTS The mean (+/-SEM) BMD of the lumbar spine increased by 0.8 +/- 2.0% in the clodronate group and decreased by 1.6 +/- 2.0% in the placebo group (P = 0.43). At all secondary skeletal sites (ie, hip, total body, and distal forearm), we observed no changes or small increases in the BMD of the clodronate group and decreases in the BMD of the placebo group. In the clodronate group, biochemical markers of bone resorption decreased significantly (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Clodronate significantly inhibits bone resorption as assessed by changes in biochemical markers of bone turnover. Although the mean BMD increased in the clodronate group, cyclic clodronate therapy failed to increase spinal BMD significantly at 12 mo.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS The epidemiology of bone disease in home parenteral nutrition (HPN) is unknown. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the prevalence and severity of reduced bone mineral density (BMD) in long-term HPN. DESIGN Cross-sectional, multicentre study including patients who within the last 12 months had their BMD assessed by dual-energy-X-ray absorptiometry after at least 6 months of HPN. Data on bone pain and fractures, the primary gastrointestinal diseases, nutritional and rehabilitation status and HPN regimen were reviewed. Both the T-score (no. of SD below mean BMD of young subjects) and the Z-score (no. of SD from normal BMD values corrected for sex and age) were analysed. RESULTS A T -score <-1 at any site of assessment was observed in 84% of the 165 patients enrolled (<or= -2.5 in 41%). Bone pain occurred in 35% and bone fracture in 10% of patients. Both T - and Z-scores were significantly lower in symptomatic patients. The frequency of bone disease was higher in post-menopausal women but did not differ among the subgroups of the primary diseases. Stepwise regression analysis showed the lumbar spine Z -score positively associated with the age at starting HPN and the femoral neck Z-score positively associated with the body mass index. CONCLUSIONS Bone disease was present in most of the patients on HPN, was of severe degree in one-half of them and symptomatic in one-third. The BMD Z-score appeared predictive of the risk of fracture. The prevalence of bone disease did not differ between the various primary diseases. Age at starting HPN and body mass index appeared to be the major factors associated with BMD Z-scores.

Abstract
The purpose of this review is to describe the most common complications of home total parenteral nutrition, their identification, treatment and prevention. Data sources were manuscripts and abstracts published in the English literature since 1968. Studies were selected for summarization in this review on the basis of clinical relevance to the practicing clinician. Home total parenteral nutrition is a relatively safe, life-saving method for nutrient delivery in patients with compromised gastrointestinal function. However, numerous complications, with associated morbidity and mortality, involving the delivery system and the gastrointestinal, renal, and skeletal systems may develop. Catheter-related complications are often preventable and treatable when they occur, although renal and bone abnormalities have elusive etiologies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Long-term parenteral nutrition (LTPN) has been shown to induce renal impairment and bone demineralization. However, the mechanism of both injuries has not been clarified. METHODS This prospective study was performed in 16 patients with short bowel syndrome, aged 28 to 63 years, who had received LTPN for 31 +/- 7 months. Urinary excretion of electrolytes were measured before (diurnal, 12 hours) and during (nocturnal, 12 hours) parenteral nutrition. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and effective renal plasma flow (ERPF) were measured in the morning after the nutritional bag supply. RESULTS Mean GFR was 86 +/- 7 mL/min/1.73 m2 and ERPF was 412 +/- 31 mL/min/1.73 m2. Decreased GFR was present in 9 patients. There was no relation between renal function and age or the duration of LTPN. Urine volume and excretion of urea, creatinine, sodium, magnesium, and phosphate but not potassium increased significantly in nocturnal urine compared with diurnal urine. On the basis on 24-hour calciuria, 7 patients were normocalciuric (NCa) whereas 9 were hypercalciuric (HCa). Both had excessive nocturnal calciuria, but only the HCa group had diurnal hypercalciuria, the calcium supply being identical. Bone mineral density (BMD) was slightly, although not significantly, higher in NCa group, but in all patients BMD correlated significantly with calciuria. Serum parathyroid hormone and vitamin D were not different in the two groups. CONCLUSIONS In patients receiving LTPN, renal function is frequently impaired, by a mechanism which remains unclear. In nocturnal cyclic mode of nutrition, urinary volume and electrolyte excretion occurred predominantly during the infusion, but some patients have diurnal hypercalciuria. In these patients a defect in renal calcium reabsorption or more likely the inability of bone to retain the infused calcium may be responsible for bone demineralization.

Abstract
6 mo afterward. Long-HPN was assessed only at baseline. In short-HPN, there was a hyperkinetic turnover at baseline. At follow-up, OC was similar to baseline, whereas cross-links, urinary calcium and magnesium decreased (P < 0.03), and parathyroid hormone increased (P < 0.001). The variation of urinary calcium correlated with that of cross-links (r = 0.73, P < 0.04). In long-HPN, OC was low or low-normal in almost all the patients, and cross-links were normal. Mean OC was lower than that of short-HPN both at baseline (P < 0. 003) and at follow-up (P < 0.002). The results suggest that in the early period of HPN bone metabolism improved from a hyperkinetic turnover to a positive balance. A low bone-formation rate appeared to be a characteristic feature of long-term HPN.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Little is known about parathyroid gland function in patients receiving total parenteral nutrition (TPN). OBJECTIVE Our objective was to determine whether parathyroid gland function is abnormal in TPN recipients. DESIGN Six patients with a mean (+/-1 SD) age of 45.5 +/- 8.0 y who had been receiving TPN for 18.7 +/- 2. 8 y underwent bone biopsy, bone mass measurements with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, and dynamic tests of parathyroid gland function. Diurnal variations in blood ionized calcium (iCa(2+)) and serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) concentrations were also assessed. Results were compared with those of healthy volunteers. RESULTS Bone mass and bone formation were subnormal in all patients. Basal serum PTH concentrations were moderately higher in the TPN recipients than in healthy volunteers, and values obtained every 30 min over 24 h were significantly higher (P < 0.001) in TPN recipients (5.0 +/- 0.9 pmol/L) than in healthy volunteers (2.6 +/- 0.6 pmol/L). The percentage increase in serum PTH during citrate-induced hypocalcemia was lower in the TPN recipients, consistent with secondary hyperparathyroidism. Evening infusions of calcium-containing TPN eliminated the nocturnal rise in serum PTH, increased the amplitude of change for iCa(2+) and PTH over 24 h, increased the orderliness of change for iCa(2+) and PTH as measured by approximate entropy (ApEn), and enhanced the synchrony of change between iCa(2+) and PTH. Treatment for 10 d with calcium-free TPN restored the nocturnal rise in serum PTH and increased ApEn for PTH. ApEn for iCa(2+) remained low, suggesting that a component of nutrient solutions, but not calcium per se, enhances the regularity of PTH release in TPN recipients. CONCLUSION Parathyroid gland function is abnormal in long-term TPN recipients, which may contribute to disturbances in bone metabolism.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Increasing the inorganic phosphorus content of total parenteral nutrition (TPN) formulas has been shown to decrease TPN-induced hypercalciuria in experimental animals and humans. The mechanism of this effect, however, has been uncertain. METHODS By using a randomized cross-over design, seven patients on cyclic TPN were given otherwise identical formulas providing either 15 or 45 mmol/d of inorganic phosphorus. Urinary calcium excretion, serum ultrafilterable calcium, filtered calcium load, fractional calcium excretion, urinary cyclic adenosine 5'-monophosphate (cAMP), and serum levels of ionized calcium, parathyroid hormone (PTH), and vitamin D metabolites were determined at the end of each study period. RESULTS Urinary calcium excretion was significantly lower when the patients received the higher inorganic phosphorus formula. Increasing the inorganic phosphorus in the TPN formula did not change ultrafilterable calcium or filtered calcium load, but significantly reduced fractional calcium excretion. No differences in serum levels of ionized calcium, PTH, 25-hydroxyvitamin D, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, or urinary cAMP were observed between treatments. CONCLUSIONS These results demonstrate that increasing the inorganic phosphorus content of the TPN formula decreases urinary calcium excretion by increasing renal tubular calcium resorption. This effect is not due to alterations in the PTH-1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D axis, but likely reflects a direct action of inorganic phosphorus on the renal tubules.

Abstract
Parenteral nutrition-associated metabolic bone disease in children is manifested primarily as osteopenia and, on occasion, fractures. The etiology is likely multifactorial, with calcium and phosphate deficiency playing a major role in the preterm infant and with the role of aluminum toxicity yet to be clearly defined in this population. Lack of normal values of bone histomorphometry in the premature infant as well as lack of normal data for biochemical markers of bone turnover in these patients contribute to the uncertainty. Other factors that may play a role in the pathogenesis include lack of periodic enteral feeding; underlying intestinal disease, including malabsorption and inflammation; the presence of neoplasms; and drug-induced alterations in calcium and bone metabolism. The true incidence and prevalence of parenteral nutrition-associated bone abnormalities in pediatric patients remain unknown.

Abstract
In order to characterize biochemical markers of bone turnover in home parenteral nutrition(HPN) patients, 8 adult patients on HPN for benign intestinal failure were studied at 0, 6 and 12 months by evaluating serum osteocalcin (bone formation marker), urinary hydroxylysyl pyridinoline, lysyl pyridinoline and beta-galactosyl hydroxylysine (bone resorption markers), serum PTH, Calcitonin, 25 vitD, 1-25vitD, serum and urinary minerals, body weight, rehabilitation degree and HPN characteristics. Three patients entered the study 2-3 months after the beginning of HPN. Their features of bone turnover were homogeneous, characterized by increased resorption associated with normal or increased formation, at baseline, and normalization of resorption associated with an increase or a parallel decrease of formation, at 6 months. At 12 months, the patterns were similar to those observed at 6 months. The patients were not of the same sex and age and had different underlying diseases and types of intestinal failure, HPN composition and serum vitamin D levels. They had weight gain that was already present at baseline and the positive outcomes of the rehabilitation and clinical status in common. Five patients entered the study more than 1 year after the beginning of HPN. They showed heterogeneous features of bone turnover that were stable throughout the study, characterized by increased resorption associated with low or normal formation in two cases, low normal resorption associated with low or normal formation in three. In one patient, who had increased resorption and low formation, the bone turnover appeared to be explained by the nutritional and clinical outcomes, which were negative. These results appeared consistent with those obtained in previous studies by bone histomorphometry, indicating that bone turnover of short-term HPN patients differed from that of long-term patients, and suggesting that the early months of HPN were associated with increased bone resorption.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose was to analyze changes in the mandible and the forearm bone mineral content and oral state in patients on home parenteral nutrition due to short bowel syndrome in relation to the bone mineral values and oral findings in a normal population. METHODS The bone mineral content was measured by dual-photon absorptiometry and the dental and periodontal state were studied in 15 adults patients (12 women, and 3 men, aged 26 to 65 years). All patients were on free oral intake as a supplement to the parenteral nutrition. RESULTS Forty-seven percent of the patients (2 males, 2 young and 3 elderly females) showed mandibular osteoporosis (Z-scores < -2.00), and all young females showed Z-scores < 0. Moreover, 34% of the patients showed osteoporosis in the forearm bones (Z-scores < -2.00) and also radiographic signs of osteoporotic fractures of the columna. The dental and the periodontal state in the patients did not differ clearly from that of the normal Danish population of the same age. CONCLUSIONS Such patients seem to have a high risk of developing systemic osteoporosis, including the jaws, but apparently do not show a higher risk for deterioration of the dental or periodontal state than age-matching normals from the same population.

Abstract
Short-bowel syndrome is a state of severe malabsorption secondary to extensive bowel resection. The most common reasons for extensive bowel resection are Crohn's disease and mesenteric infarction. The pathophysiological consequences depend on extent and site of resection, integrity and adaptation of the remaining bowel, and secondary effects on other organs. Most extensively bowel resected patients can be adequately nourished by mouth, especially since they develop compensatory hyperphagia. For patients with colon in function a high-carbohydrate low-fat diet is beneficial compared to a diet with a normal fat content, because it results in decreased diarrhoea, decreased faecal mineral losses, and increased energy assimilation. The relative amount of dietary fat does not influence stool mass or energy assimilation in jejunostomy patients. Patients with jejunostomy have a high faecal output of water, sodium, and divalent cations, and they often need permanent parenteral supply of saline as well as calcium and magnesium if their small intestinal remnant is < 200 cm and parenteral nutritional support if they retain < 100 cm small bowel. In contrast, 50 cm of the jejunum often suffices for adequate oral nutrition if most of the colon is preserved. The majority of patients needing long-term intravenous supply are trained to administer parenteral nutrition at home (HPN). Most patients on HPN obtain a good or fair quality of life with hospital readmissions corresponding to an average of 10% of the HPN duration and an overall HPN related mortality of about 4%.

Abstract
Total parenteral nutrition (TPN) may affect bone metabolism in a variety of ways. These may include potential indirect effects such as on gastrointestinal hormone secretion, liver function, especially cytochrome P450 isoenzymes, metabolic biorhythms where established, and the continuous compared with the intermittent supply of nutrients. More substantial evidence exists for the reduction of bone formation, parathyroid hormone secretion, and calcitriol production in TPN patients along with high urinary calcium excretion. This review considers both aluminum loading and vitamin D sensitivity as etiologic factors and suggests that aluminum may have played a primary role in the pathogenesis of these abnormalities in bone and mineral metabolism, but that vitamin D may have potentiated the deleterious actions of aluminum. While the sources of aluminum contamination of TPN solutions have been identified and efforts are under way to reduce its contamination of TPN solutions, the persistence of low bone mass measurement in TPN patients is a problem that has been identified repeatedly, does not have a current explanation, and requires further study.

Abstract
A patient who had been supported with total parenteral nutrition (TPN) for over 8 years is herein presented, with emphasis on the changes observed in calcium metabolism. The patient was a 31-year-old female, who had undergone a subtotal jejunal and ileal resection for superior mesenteric artery occlusion. TPN was started soon after the surgery. She had been on TPN support for 105 months. Back pain developed at 97 months after the initiation of TPN. During her course, the serum calcium levels were judged to be within the normal ranges, while the 1 alpha, 25(OH)2Vit.D declined. Intermittent hypercalciuria was occasionally observed. Both the serum level of calcium and urinary calcium loss correlated closely to the amount of calcium infused, but they were not influenced by the amount of vitamin D (ergocalciferol) received. The serum level of parathormone and calcitonin were also within the normal ranges. The patient's vertebral bone, which was obtained at autopsy, revealed histopathological changes characteristic of osteoporosis. Based on the above, we conclude that a careful monitoring of the amount of calcium infused is called for to prevent bone disease in patients on long-term parenteral nutrition.

Abstract
A syndrome of bone pain and fractures has been described in patients receiving long-term support from parenteral nutrition containing large quantities of aluminium or vitamin D2. Whether this same syndrome occurs in patients supported by current therapeutic regimens is controversial. In this study, bone health was longitudinally evaluated over 7 to 61 months in 14 subjects maintained on long-term parenteral nutrition. The parameters of bone health evaluated included bone mass as measured by single and dual photon absorptiometry and quantitative histomorphometry of bone biopsies. There was a striking heterogeneity in baseline measures of bone health. Mean bone density of parenteral nutrition patients was significantly below expected values on entry into the study at both the distal radius (z score = -0.76 +/- 0.27) and the lumbar spine (z score = -1.17 +/- 0.27). Mean areal density at the forearm was less severely depressed (z score = -0.62 +/- 0.34). The longitudinal changes in bone density and morphology were heterogeneous, with some subjects showing deterioration, others improvement, and still others no change. We conclude that patients already established on parenteral nutrition frequently have osteopenia. The group as a whole did not demonstrate normalization of the osteopenia, but our results also suggest that current parenteral nutrition formulations low in aluminum and vitamin D2 do not necessarily cause worsening of bone health. The etiology of this clinical syndrome merits additional study.

Abstract
Parenteral nutrition (PN)-related bone disease remains a problem in patients of all ages. Understanding of the pathogenesis of PN-related bone disease is complicated by the effect of underlying illnesses, therapeutic interventions, and pre-existing nutrition deficiencies before the initiation of PN therapy. Interrelation of various nutrients, for example, calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin D, in their effects on bone mineralization, demands simultaneous assessment of the role of multiple nutrients and increases the difficulty in defining the role of a single nutrient in the development of bone disease. However, recent reports indicate that there exist a number of factors important in the development of PN-related bone disease and some factors such as increased mineral requirement are unique to growing infants whereas other factors such as aluminum toxicity may be common to both adult and pediatric populations. Nonnutritional factors, including chronic use of potent loop diuretics and altered acid-base status, can affect urine mineral loss, cell metabolism, and bone mineralization, particularly in small, preterm infants. Current evidence indicates that the cause of PN-related bone disease is multifactorial, and the prevention of PN-related bone disease awaits better delineation of the exact sequence of pathogenic events.

Abstract
Aluminum remains a significant contaminant of total parenteral nutrition (TPN) solutions and may be elevated in bone, urine, and plasma of infants receiving TPN. Aluminum accumulation in tissues of uremic patients and adult TPN patients has been associated with low-turnover bone disease. Furthermore, aluminum has also been linked with encephalopathy and anemia in uremic patients and with hepatic cholestasis in experimental animals. Because of the toxic effects of aluminum, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently published a notice of intent to set an upper limit of 25 micrograms/L for aluminum in large-volume parenterals and to require manufacturers of small-volume parenterals, such as calcium and phosphate salts, to measure aluminum content and note this content on the package label. The ASCN/A.S.P.E.N. Working Group on Standards for Aluminum Content of Parenteral Nutrition Solutions supports these intentions and further urges the FDA to require that cumulative aluminum intake in terms of safe, unsafe, and toxic quantities of aluminum per kilogram be made known to physicians and pharmacists preparing the TPN solutions, to ensure that manufacturers use appropriate control procedures in aluminum measurements, and to employ a standard unit of aluminum measurement.

Abstract
Central parenteral nutrition can cause serious complications, particularly in association with the feeding catheter, previously in relation to nutrient provision, and occasionally in other organ systems, notably disease of the liver and abnormalities of bone composition. Developments in catheter design, the introduction of catheter care protocols based on an understanding of the common routes of catheter infection, and the identification of factors associated with central vein thrombosis have all reduced dramatically the incidence of complications. Furthermore, problems such as catheter occlusion, catheter infection and central vein thrombosis can now be treated effectively in many patients without the loss of the feeding catheter. This review summarizes the common and important complications of parenteral feeding with emphasis on their practical prevention and management.

Abstract
Bone gamma-carboxyglutamic acid containing protein (BGP) has been utilized effectively as a serum marker of bone turnover in healthy normals and in individuals with a variety of metabolic bone disorders including postmenopausal osteoporosis and Paget's disease. The utility of this serum marker in other bone disorders, including that associated with the maintenance of patients on long-term parenteral nutrition, still requires definition. Because of our interest in this clinical syndrome and the availability of serum and of bone formation rates (BFR) measured directly from double tetracycline labeling in 11 long-term parenteral nutrition patients, we measured BGP levels in these patients and attempted to correlate this measure with BFR. Serum vitamin D metabolites, immunoreactive parathyroid hormone (PTH), and alkaline phosphatase (alk phos) were also measured. Serum BGP was only weakly and not significantly correlated (r = 0.24, p = NS) with bone formation rate for the group as a whole. However, in a subgroup of 10 patients without hyperparathyroidism, there was strong and significant correlation (r = 0.81, P less than 0.01) between BGP and BFR. There was also a strong correlation between bone formation rate and serum 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D [1,25(OH)2D] levels (r = 0.89, P less than 0.01, n = 11). The mechanism of this association could not be established. A correlation of borderline significance was observed between bone formation rate and serum alk phos (r = 0.60, P = 0.05, n = 11). The current data suggest that additional studies may help to more fully define the utility of serum measurements in quantifying bone dynamics in parenteral nutrition patients, and that measures of vitamin D metabolites, BGP, and alk phos may prove useful.

Abstract
D-lactate accumulates in some patients with malabsorption who continue oral intake of carbohydrate leading to a clinical syndrome of acidosis and encephalopathy. To assess the possibility that D-lactate contributes to acidosis and/or metabolic bone disease in patients with malabsorption receiving long-term parenteral nutrition yet maintaining oral intake, D-lactate levels in serum and urine were measured in 14 long-term parenteral nutrition subjects (average duration of support 74 months) and 27 control subjects. Significant elevations in both serum and urine D-lactate were found in only two parenteral nutrition subjects. Both subjects with elevated D-lactate levels had bone pain, x-ray evidence of fractures, and biopsy evidence of osteomalacia. These studies suggest that D-lactate accumulation may be a heretofore unappreciated metabolic abnormality associated with metabolic bone disease and acidosis in patients with malabsorption who are supported by long-term parenteral nutrition.
