OBJECTIVE

To investigate the effect of recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) in combination with total parenteral nutrition (TPN) on albumin synthesis in patients with peritoneal sepsis.

METHODS

17 patients with peritoneal sepsis were divided randomly into two groups. The control group received TPN only for 7 days, and the GH group received both rhGH (12 U/d) and TPN for 7 days. The TPN scheme and other treatment were the same in the two groups.

RESULTS

Serum albumin, prealbumin, and transferrin concentration were increased in patients in the GH group (P < 0.01), but no apparent effect was observed in the control group (P > 0.05).

CONCLUSIONS

In condition of serious peritoneal sepsis, TPN can not increase albumin, prealbumin, and transferrin synthesis alone, whereas rhGH in combination with TPN significantly increase the synthesis of visceral proteins.
