Available enteral hyperalimentation solutions used to treat undernourished cirrhotic, ascitic patients with protein intolerance are excessive in water, sodium, and in some cases protein. This study investigated the use of enteral formulae tailored to the water, sodium, and protein tolerance of 10 undernourished subjects with ascites due to alcoholic liver disease (n = 8) and postnecrotic cirrhosis (n = 2). During a 10- to 60-day (mean +/- 80 = 37 +/- 19) hyperalimentation period, three subjects were treated with a low Na (1g Na/2000 kcal), high caloric density formula (2 kcal/ml); previous encephalopathy in seven remaining subjects required infusion of a low Na, low protein (40 g/day) modular high caloric density formula. The high caloric density formula protein content in 6/7 subjects was increased to 80 to 143 g without adverse effect. Nine subjects tolerated the program well and showed improvement in the following indices: serum albumin, creatinine/height, and midarm muscle and fat areas. In selected cases, enteral hyperalimentation solutions with appropriate composition can be safely and effectively administered to cachectic cirrhotic subjects with ascites.
