Abstract:
We describe the management of HPN on the basis of a case report. Since TPN is associated with severe complications such as catheter-related sepsis, thrombosis of venous access, metabolic disorders and liver disease, education and peer support of HPN-patients is an important issue and is associated with reduced depression, reduced septic complications and improved QoL. Although SBTx has advanced in the last years, SBTx is only an option when TPN failed, as survival rates after SBTx are still low compared to treatment with TPN.
