Randomized Controlled Trial[Effects of enteral nutrition supplemented with glutamine and arginine on gut barrier in patients with severe acute pancreatitis: a prospective randomized controlled trial].
To investigate the effects of continuous early enteral nutrition (EEN) supplemented with glutamine and arginine on gut barrier function in patients with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). ⋯ EEN is safe and feasible in treatment of SAP. Enteral immunonutrition containing glutamine and arginine improves the gut barrier function by reducing the gut permeability and decreasing plasma endotoxin level in the early stage of SAP.
