GOMEZ ENTERRIA, P.; LABORDA GONZALEZ, L.; MARTINEZ FAEDO, C.    GRUPO DE TRABAJO NADYA -SENPE. A protocol for the diagnosis and treatment of metabolic osteopathy in patients with home-based parenteral nutrition. []. , 22, 3, pp.351-357. ISSN 1699-5198.

Patients presenting severe intestinal failure submitted to a home-based parenteral nutrition program have increased risk for bone metabolism impairments. This decrease in bone quality has a multifactorial origin and may be already present when implementing nutritional support. There is the need for having available protocols allowing early diagnosis of osteo-metabolic disease and implementing adequate therapy to prevent fractures and improving the quality of life of these patients.
