Impact of iron dextran shortage on patients with intestinal failure receiving home parenteral nutrition: Experience from a multidisciplinary rehabilitation program
The addition of iron to PN seems to be advantageous for iron deficiency prevention in children with IF. Given the association of iron deficiency with neurocognitive deficits, management of iron status should focus on prevention of iron deficiency. Therefore, for patients with IF on long-term PN, iron can be beneficial as part of the PN prescription for adequate provision of a balance nutrient profile.
