Abstract

Background - Reticuloendothelial system function is impaired in humans receiving lipid regimens. Aims - To evaluate the effects of long term administration of long chain triglyceride emulsions on reticuloendothelial system function. Methods - Splenic function and tuftsin activity were measured in 20 patients on intravenous nutrition for intestinal failure, 20 patients with Crohn's disease who were not receiving intravenous nutrition, and 50 healthy controls. Results - Pitted red cells counts in patients on intravenous nutrition (8.0%) were significantly higher (p
