Refeeding syndrome
hypokalemia
hypophosphatemia
hypomagnesemia
Thiamin deficiency
Clinical presentations peripheral edema, cardiac arrhythmia, neuromuscular weakness,
nystagmus, gaze palsies, gait ataxia, internuclear ophthalmoplegia, psychosis (Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome), heart failure, pulmonary congestion, lactic acidosis
Refeeding syndrome
Thiamin as coenzyme
Thiamin as coenzyme
Prevention of refeeding syndrome
correct electrolytes imbalance before feeding (K, Mg, PO4)
start with low calorie first
slow titration +500 kcal every 2-3 days
Thiamin 100 mg IV OD x 3 days
recheck for electrolytes abnormalities during calorie titration
restrict fluid to sufficient to maintain renal function (20-30 ml/kg/day)

Aim for weight gain
“Why did my patients not gain weight?”
Refeeding induce an increased in REE in malnourished AN
Van Wymelbeke V, et al. Am J Clin Nutr. 2004 Dec;80(6):1469-77.
Mean REE:FFM control group 131±15
P<0.001 P<0.001
Resistant to weight gain!!
“It is often unfair to accuse most of these AN patients of discarding their food
when they do not gain body weight.” Van Wymelbeke V
Any roles of parenteral nutrition?
“Total parenteral nutrition should not be used
for people with anorexia nervosa, unless there is significant gastrointestinal dysfunction.” (C)
NICE guidelines for treatment of eating disorders 2004
Actual body weight (ABW) 38 kg
Height 156 cm
Ideal body weight (IBW) = height-110 = 46 kg
or ideal body weight at BMI 20 kg/m2 = 20x1.56x1.56
= 48 kg
Aim TC 30-35 kcal/ABW/day = 1140-1330 kcal/day
Aim TP 1.2-1.5 g/IBW/day =55.2-69 g/day
Day 1 400-500 kcal/day + thiamin 100 mg IV ODx3days
MTV 1x2, Bco 1x2
titrate 500 kcal q 2-3 days, F/U electrolytes
For our case
Re-establish normal eating behavior
AN- aware of refeeding syndrome, volume overload
Micronutrients supplement in malnourished patients

can vary from mild to severe
liver decompensation, coagulopathy, hyperbilirubinemia and fulminant liver failure have been reported

Diffuse hepatocytic swelling Centriobular fibrosis and atrophy
Autophagosome sequestring cytoplasmic components
Low organelle-density hepatocyte
Autophagy
Rautou PE, J Hepatol. 2010;53(6):1123-34.
Starvation-induced hepatocyte autophagy
Autophagosome
double-membrane vesicle
sequestering other cytoplasmic components e.g. mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum
fusion with pre-existing lysosomes
result in low density of organelles in hepatocyte
may lead to autophagic cell death
Rautou PE, et al. Gastroenterology. 2008;135(3):840-8
Autophagy
well-known survival strategy under stress condition
supply macromolecules for biosynthesis during nutrient-deprivation
help to delay cell apoptosis
also can kill a cell “autophagic death”

Approach to abnormal LFT in AN
Adapted from Harris RH, et al. Int J Eat Disord. 2013; 46(4):369-74.
Abnormal LFT
Alcohol, drugs and toxin Viral hepatitis : HBsAg, Anti-HBs, Anti-HBc, Anti-HCV, Anti-HAV Autoimmune hepatitis : ANA, anti-smooth muscle Ab, anti-LKM Wilson disease : serum ceruloplasmin
exclude other causes
Ultrasound / CT upper abdomen
small liver, no fatty liver large liver, fatty liver
• continue feeding • should improve in 2-5 days
• probably due to overfeed • consider reduction in calorie
