Abstract

The Short Bowel Syndrome (SBS) usually presents as characteristics: intense weight loss and poor-absorption of nutrients and fluids, leading to a decrease in intestinal transit time and hence diarrhea. Thus it is necessary monitoring the use of parenteral nutritional support (PNS). Although necessary, this therapy carries some risks to the health of the patient. Since it is known association of long periods of use of the PNS with liver dysfunction or failure, and this coupled with a possible inflammatory status of patients with SBS. Objective: Therefore, the objective of this study is to assess and compare the pro-inflammatory status of two groups with SIC: group that makes use of the PNS (PG) and that group is only ambulatory monitoring (AG), which evolved differently. Methodology: case-control study conducted in HCFMRP / USP with a convenience sample. The intervention will be held in the two groups involved in research and will consist of: food anamnesis (questionnaire Quantitative Food Frequency of consumption), anthropometric measurements (weight, height, BMI, skinfolds, arm circumference) and measures of pro-inflammatory cytokines serum (IL-6; IL-10; TNF-±; TGF-²) and C-reactive protein (CRP).
