6 mo afterward. Long-HPN was assessed only at baseline. In short-HPN, there was a hyperkinetic turnover at baseline. ⋯ Mean OC was lower than that of short-HPN both at baseline (P < 0. 003) and at follow-up (P < 0.002). The results suggest that in the early period of HPN bone metabolism improved from a hyperkinetic turnover to a positive balance. A low bone-formation rate appeared to be a characteristic feature of long-term HPN.
