What is the regulator of nutrition intake?
Hypothalamus
What is the factor of nutrition intake?
- Hunger
- Thirst
- Satiety
- Food availability
- Emotional and physical health
Describe altered nutrition.
Inadequate or excessive digestion, absorption, transportation or metabolism of nutrients.
What is the cause of altered nutrition?
- Genetic defects
- Ineffective mucosa
- Inadequate or excessive intake
- Excessive nutrient losses
- Hyper-metabolic syndromes
- Ingestion of unsafe food and water.
What is inherited metabolic disorder?
- Error in amino acid and lipid metabolism
- Commonly a problem of a genetically based defect in enzyme activity.
Give me 2 examples of inherited metabolic disorders.
- Phenylketonuria (PKU)
- Tay-sachs disease
Patient has error in amino acid and lipid metabolism and genetically based defect in enzyme activity.
What is the disease?
Inherited metabolic disorder
- Inadequate calorie consumption
- inadequate intake of vitamins mineral
- Problems with digestion, absorption or distribution of nutrition in body
What is the disease?
undernutrition
What is the results of experiencing undernutrition?
- Weight loss
- muscle wasting
The patient experiencing weight loss and muscle wasting. What is the disease?
Undertake nutrition.
What is overnutrition?
- Excessive consumption of nutrient.
- Excessive caloric intake
- Vitamin or mineral toxicity
What is malaborption (吸收不良)?
Lack of movement of one or more nutrients across the gastrointestinal mucosa
What problems causes the malabsorption?
- problems with processing or digesting nutrients
- with intestinal mucosa
- lymphatic obstruction
What is food allergy?
Immune system - mediated adverse reaction to foods.
E.g.
Eggs, peanuts, milk, soy, fish and shellfish, tree nuts, wheat
Give me five sign of altered nutrition.
- Weight loss or gain
- Muscle wasting and weakness
- Changes in skin and mucous membrane
- Problems with wound healing, infection
- Dehydration, diarrhea, abdominal pain
- Fatigue
What is the diagnostic strategies related to Altered Nutrition?
- Nutritional assessment
e.g. Multiple day dietary intake recall, measure of height, weight –> BMI - Laboratory tests
