Abstract:
We have reported a patient with multiple nutritional and metabolic abnormalities following JI bypass. Most of her biochemical abnormalities were corrected with cautious but vigorous supplementation, and her nutritional status improved, as documented by several positive nitrogen balances and normalization of most of her vitamin and trace element serum concentrations. This case clearly demonstrates many of the metabolic complications that can result from the JI bypass procedure and the meticulous followup that is needed during nutritional rehabilitation.
