肝硬化病人维生素A、E及某些矿物质营养状况探讨

本文观察了24例肝硬化病人维生素A、E及铁、锌、铜、锰、钙和镁的营养状况。结果显示,肝硬化(代偿期)病人除维生素E外,上述各种营养素的摄入量均显著低于健康对照组;肝腹水病人的摄入量更低。肝硬化(代偿期)病人血清维生素A、E、铁、锌、铜和锰的含量显著低于健康对照组;肝腹水病人血清铜、镁的含量未见明显变化,但血清钙的含量显著下降,其他各项指标的值更低。上述结果提示,肝硬化病人有维生素A、E、铁、锌、锰和钙的不足或缺乏。

STUDIES ON NUTRITIONAL STATUS OF VITAMIN A, E AND SOME MINERALS IN LIVER CIRRHOSIS

The nutritional status of vitamin A and E, iron, zinc, copper, manganese, calcium and magnesium in 24 patients with liver cirrhosis was investigated. The results showed that the intake of all but vitamin E in cirrhotic patients (compensatory period) was significantly lower than those in healthy adult control subjects. The intake of these nutrients in patients with ascites was even lower. Serum vitamin A and E, iron, zinc, copper and manganese in cirrhotic patients (compensatory period)were significantly lower than those in healthy adult control subjects. In the patients with ascites the levels of serum vitamin A and E, iron, zinc and manganese were even lower, but no changes of serum copper and magnesium were found. These results showed that there was deficiency or insufficiency of vitamin A and E, iron, zinc, manganese and calcium in cirrhotic patients.
