Intralipid disappearance in critically ill patients.

A Lindh, M Lindholm, S Rössner

    Critical Care Medicine
    |May 1, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary

    Intralipid removal is similar in healthy and critically ill patients, but faster in cholecystectomy patients. Critically ill patients show an initial rapid loss of Intralipid not linked to CRP levels.

    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Clinical Nutrition
    • Physiology

    Background:

    • Intralipid (intravenous fat emulsion) is crucial for nutritional support.
    • Understanding its elimination is vital for optimizing patient care.
    • Variations in elimination may occur in different physiological states.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare Intralipid elimination patterns in healthy controls, post-cholecystectomy patients, and critically ill patients.
    • To investigate the relationship between Intralipid metabolism and inflammatory markers like CRP.

    Main Methods:

    • Intravenous fat tolerance test (IVFTT) was performed on all groups.
    • Fractional removal rate (k2) of Intralipid was calculated.
    • Lipid profiles and C-reactive protein (CRP) concentrations were measured.

    Main Results:

    • Fractional removal rate (k2) was similar in healthy and critically ill patients but higher in cholecystectomy patients.
    • Critically ill patients exhibited a significantly lower extrapolated zero-time Intralipid concentration.
    • Initial rapid Intralipid loss in critically ill patients was not correlated with CRP levels.
    • CRP correlated with triglyceride and lipoprotein levels, but not directly with initial Intralipid concentrations.

    Conclusions:

    • Intralipid elimination kinetics differ between healthy, post-cholecystectomy, and critically ill individuals.
    • Critically ill patients experience an initial rapid Intralipid loss, potentially due to factors other than inflammation.
    • Further research is needed to elucidate the mechanisms behind altered Intralipid uptake in critical illness.
