Q

What is refeeding syndrome?

A

metabolic complication that occurs when nutritional support is given to severely malnourished patients Metabolism shifts from a catabolic to an anabolic state. Insulin is released on carbohydrate intake, triggering cellular uptake of potassium, phosphate, and magnesium. When the serum concentrations of these electrolytes are reduced, serious complications, such as arrhythmias, can occur.

self-induced vomiting; misuse of laxatives, diuretics, or other medications, fasting; or excessive exercise

27
Q

What is constitutes binge eating d/o, according to DSM-V?

A

A

Recurrent episodes of binge-eating, characterized by both of the following:

  1. Eating, in a discrete period of time (e.g. any 2 hr period), an amount of food that is definitely larger than most people would eat in the same situation
  2. A sense of lack of control over eating during the episode

B

The binge-eating episodes are associated with 3+ of the following:

  1. Eating much more rapidly than usual
  2. Eating until feeling uncomfortably full
  3. Eating large amounts of food when not physically hungry
  4. Eating alone because of being embarrassed by how much one is eating
  5. Feeling disgusted with oneself, depressed, or very guilty after overeating

C

Marked distress regarding binge-eating is present

D

The binge-eating occurs, on average, at least 1x/week for 3 months

E

The binge is not associated with the regular use of compensatory behaviors and does not occur exclusively during the course of AN or BN

28

What constitutes ARFID, according to DSM V?

A

A

Inadequate intake; restricted range of food or calories → weight loss; sensory.

B

Reduced food intake due to emotional disturbance related to eating without concern for body image. Major meal conflicts.

  • 24 hour recall,
  • %IBW – utilize BMI 50%ile for age (~BMI divide where they are by what 50th should be
  • Recent losses or gains
    • Can determine degree of malnutrition
31
Q

A
  • Fluid and electrolytes: Dehydration, hypokalemia, hyponatremia, hypophosphatemia, hypomagnesemia, hypoglycemia
  • Cardiovascular: Sinus bradycardia (sinus arrhythmia), orthostatic hypotension, ventricular dysrhythmias, reduced myocardial contractility, sudden death secondary to arrhythmias, cardiomyopathy secondary to ipecac use, mitral valve prolapse, ECG abnormalities (including low voltage, prolonged QT interval, and prominent U waves), pericardial effusion, congestive heart failure
  • Renal: Increased BUN, decreased glomerular filtration rate, renal calculi, edema, renal concentrating defect
  • GI: Delayed gastric emptying, constipation, elevated liver enzymes, superior mesenteric artery syndrome, rectal prolapse, gallstones

  • Low bone mass: Females with anorexia nervosa have reduced bone mass and increased fracture risk
  • Neuromuscular: Generalized muscle weakness, seizures secondary to metabolic abnormalities, peripheral neuropathies, syncope in absence of orthostatic hypotension, movement disorders, structural brain changes (MRI studies have demonstrated enlargement of the lateral ventricles and sulci and significant deficits in both gray- and white-matter volumes in the low-weight stages. Increases in sulcal volume and decreases in gray-matter volume may not be fully reversible with weight recovery.)
32
Q

A

Leukopenia, anemia, thrombocytopenia, decreased serum complement C3 levels, decreased erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR

33
Q

What chemistry results are associated with AN?

34
Q

What endocrine changes are associated with AN?

A

The hormonal changes in AN reflect an adaptive response to malnutrition.

  • Thyroid: Normal thyrotropin (TSH), normal or slightly low thyroxine (T4), often low 3,5,3′-triiodothyronine (T3).
  • Growth hormone (GH): Decreased IGF-1 levels, normal or elevated GH levels.
  • Prolactin: Normal.
  • Gonadotropins: Low basal levels of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH); prepubertal 24-hour LH secretory pattern, blunted response to gonadotropin-releasing hormone.
  • Sex steroids: Low estradiol in females (
  • Cortisol: Normal secretion on stimulation. Basal levels are within the reference range or occasionally slightly high.
35

A

Electrocardiographic (ECG) changes including bradycardia, low-voltage changes, prolonged QTc interval, T-wave inversions, and occasional ST-segment depression; echocardiographic changes including decreased cardiac size, left ventricular wall thickness; increased prevalence of mitral valve prolapse, and pericardial effusion.

36
Q

What are some GI findings associated with AN?

A

Usually normal findings on upper GI tract series, with occasional decreased gastric motility; normal findings on barium enema.

37
Q

Signs of bulimia nervosa

A
  • (a) body weight is usually normal or above normal;
  • (b) calluses on the dorsum of the hand secondary to abrasions from the central incisors when the fingers are used to induce vomiting (Russell sign);
  • (c) painless enlargement of the salivary glands, particularly the parotids; (d) dental enamel erosion (perimolysis);
  • (e) weight fluctuations;
  • (f) edema (fluid retention).

  • (a) weakness and fatigue;
  • (b) headaches;
  • (c) abdominal fullness and bloating;
  • (d) nausea;
  • (e) irregular menses;
  • (f) muscle cramps;
  • (g) chest pain and heartburn;
  • (h) easy bruising (from hypokalemia/platelet dysfunction);
  • (i) bloody diarrhea (laxative abusers)
41
Q

How should treatment of AN and BN be approached?

A
  • Interdisciplinary team approach.
42
Q

What are some medical and nutrition interventions recommended for BN?

A
  • careful medical monitoring, the correction of any medical complications (electrolyte abnormalities), and a structured meal plan to include eating three normal meals a day.
43
Q

What are some psych interventions recommended for BN?

A
  • Psychological intervention: In adults, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) reduces binge eating and purging activity in approximately 30% to 50% of patients.
44
Q

What are some pharm interventions recommended for BN?

A
  • Pharmacologic treatment: Fluoxetine is the only medication approved by the FDA for the treatment of BN and is most effective at a dose of 60 mg daily. A combination of antidepressant medication and CBT appears to be superior to either modality alone.
    *
45
Q

Treatment settings for BN?

A

The majority of adolescents with bulimia nervosa can be treated in an outpatient setting (outpatient clinic or partial hospitalization).

46
Q

Medical and nutritional intervention for AN

A

Nutritional rehabilitation, weight restoration and reversal of the acute medical complications.

47
Q

Psychological intervention for AN

A

Includes family psychoeducation, interpersonal therapy, and family therapy. Family-based treatment has been found to be effective in adolescents.

lecture mentions CBT as being best

48
Q

Pharmacologic treatment for AN

A

Fluoxetine does not appear to be effective in treating the primary symptoms of AN. Studies using fluoxetine have shown inconsistent results with respect to preventing relapse in older adolescents. The most common medications used have included the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), such as fluoxetine, sertraline, paroxetine, fluvoxamine, and citalopram. These medications are also useful in treating comorbid depression or obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).

49
Q

Treatment settings for AN

A

Includes inpatient treatment, outpatient treatment, partial hospitalization, and residential treatment

50
Q

Treatment of amenorrhea and low BMD in AN

A

Weight restoration results in resumption of menses, usually within 3 to 6 months of achieving treatment goal weight. Hormone replacement therapy has not been proven to be effective in increasing BMD. Recommendations include weight restoration, resumption of spontaneous menses, calcium and vitamin D supplementation, and moderate weight-bearing exercise

51
Q

Why would you admit a pt with an ED?

A
  • Hypovolemia/ hypotension
  • Severe malnutrition -
  • Cardiac dysfunction, arrhythmias, prolonged QT interval
  • Bradycardia
  • Electrolyte disturbance – hypokalemia, hypoglycemia
  • Rapid weight loss despite interventions
  • Intractable binge-purge episodes
  • Suicidal thoughts or gestures
  • Highly dysfunctional or abusive family
  • Failure of outpatient therapy
