Pankreatitis ist ein häufiges Krankheitsbild. Mithilfe einer enteralen bzw. parenteralen
Ernährung kann der Krankheitsverlauf positiv beeinflusst werden. Dieser Beitrag zeigt,
welchen großen Stellenwert die individualisierte Ernährungsberatung hat, um eine adäquate
Nahrungszufuhr sicherzustellen.
Abstract
In the western world acute pancreatitis is a frequent clinical entity. About 80 %
of patients with acute pancreatitis develop an oedematous pancreatitis, whereas 20 %
develop a severe and/or necrotizing pancreatitis: the later one, a potential life-threatening
disease. In this case an enteral nutrition has been proven to improve the course of
the disease. Usually, a gastric enteral nutrition via a nasogastric tube is possible;
only in a minority a jejunal feeding is necessary due to a high gastric residual volume.
If enteral feeding is not feasible within 5–7 days, parenteral nutrition has to be
considered. In a mild pancreatitis oral feeding should be started according to clinical
symptoms.
Chronic pancreatitis is characterized by reduced caloric intake and a high risk for
malnutrition. Next to adequate pain management and pancreatic enzyme supplementation
an individualized nutritional counselling should be provided with the aim to maintain
caloric intake. In addition, a pancreoprivic diabetes can occur. Artificial feeding
is uncommon.
