  • Title: Home hyperalimentation for common variable hypogammaglobulinemia with malabsorption secondary to intestinal nodular lymphoid hyperplasia.
    Author: Bennett WG, Watson RA, Heard JK, Vesely DL.
    Journal: Am J Gastroenterol; 1987 Oct; 82(10):1091-5. PubMed ID: 3116840.
    Abstract:
    Common variable hypogammaglobulinemia (immunodeficiency), a disorder characterized by late-onset immunoglobulin deficiency and lack of humoral immunity, has a variable association with bronchiectasis, cholelithiasis, nodular lymphoid hyperplasia, gastrointestinal neoplasia, megaloblastic anemia, and malabsorption. The patient described in this report had all of the above except neoplasia. In addition, he had calcium oxalate renal stones probably secondary to his malabsorption. The first case demonstrating the beneficial effect of home hyperalimentation in patients with severe malabsorption refractory to other treatments is described. Home hyperalimentation overnight allows the patient freedom for daily activities while also being more cost-effective than in-hospital parenteral nutrition.
