Abstract

Total parenteral nutrition is essential for the survival of short bowel syndrome patients. However, in the long term it is associated with complications such as metabolic bone disease. This complication has been attributed, among other causes, to an increased urinary calcium loss, which might be related to the amount of aminoacids, glucose and calcium present in the parenteral nutrition solution. Two case reports are here presented showing normal calciuria in short bowel syndrome adults, receiving parenteral nutrition for up to 5 years after extensive bowel resection.
