15 Copper deficiency and anemia 14 cases of copper deficiency described in patients on HPN Anemia, neutropenia + thrombocytopenia (3 cases) Anemia could be microcytic, normocytic or macrocytic, with low reticulocyte count In HPN patients with hyperbilirubinemia, it is advisable to measure serum Cu concentrations before it is Ø or withheld from PN solutions. Thereafter, frequent Cu measurement to adjust the frequency or amount of Cu administration Anemia and Enteral Nutrition Commercial enteral formulas provide the RDA for vitamins and minerals in 1-2 L of product Risk conditions: diluted commercial formulas poor compliance with administration of EN formula increased requirements, or preexistent deficiencies. Large discrepancies between the mineral levels stated by the manufacturers and those found on analysis Identical amounts of vitamins and minerals for different diseases ESPEN 03. For personal use only.

16 Anemia and Enteral Nutrition Normal plasma levels of vitamins, including folate and vitamin B12, in patients nourished with long-term enteral feeding using commercial formulas for over 6 months But low levels of folate, beta-carotene, vitamins A, C and E in IBD Anemia and neutropenia due to copper deficiency has also been described in patients on long-term enteral nutrition Conclusion Patients on long-term parenteral or enteral nutrition can develop anemia due to nutrient deficiency (Fe and Cu) Iron deficiency anemia should be distinguished from anemia of chronic disease: choose the best diagnostic parameters (CHr, adjusted ferritin, stfr-f index) When IV iron is needed, sodium ferric gluconate and iron sucrose have replaced the use of iron dextran In HPN patients with hyperbilirubinemia, repeated Cu measurements are recommended to adjust the frequency or amount of Cu administration ESPEN 03.
