This webinar will highlight nutrition assessment components, review nutrition support practices, and describe nutritional implications associated with gastrointestinal GVHD in hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) recipients. Patients undergoing HCT are a highly heterogenous population in terms of their nutrient needs and requirement for nutrition intervention. The implications of dose-intensive conditioning regimens, coupled with the debilitating effects of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), can be extremely complex and adversely effect a patient's nutritional status. Decreased oral intake, increased nutrient requirements, and impaired nutrient utilization often necessitate medical nutrition therapy. The use of standard supportive care measures, including parenteral nutrition and enteral nutrition, have varied over the past four decades and are highly dependent upon the type of transplant being utilized.
Learning Objectives:
Identify necessary components of a comprehensive nutritional assessment for patients undergoing hematopoietic cell transplantation
Construct appropriate nutritional plan of care for patients undergoing hematopoietic cell transplantation
Describe nutritional implications associated with gastrointestinal graft versus host disease
