  • Title: Enteral glucose-polymer-electrolyte solution in the treatment of chronic fluid and electrolyte depletion in short-bowel syndrome.
    Author: Laustsen J, Fallingborg J.
    Journal: Acta Chir Scand; 1983; 149(8):787-8. PubMed ID: 6421037.
    Abstract:
    A 55-year-old woman with extensive small-bowel resection and total colectomy complicated by chronic fluid and electrolyte depletion, achieved fluid and electrolyte homeostasis using a glucose-polymer-electrolyte solution. This is probably due to a solvent drag mechanism in the jejunum, in which nutrients such as glucose or aminoacids promote the passive absorption of electrolytes and water.
