Halim Z, Huang Y, Lee ZY, Lew CCH. New randomized controlled trials on micronutrients in critical care nutrition: A narrative review. Nutr Clin Pract 2024. [PMID: 39119820 DOI: 10.1002/ncp.11195] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/07/2023] [Revised: 05/14/2024] [Accepted: 07/02/2024] [Indexed: 08/10/2024] Open
Abstract
There has been increasing interest in the role of micronutrient supplementation in critical care. This narrative review summarizes the recent studies on micronutrients in critically ill patients. We searched two databases for primary randomized controlled trials that investigated the effects of micronutrient supplementation in patients with critical illness published from January 2021 to August 2023. Personal files, reference lists of included studies, and previous reviews were also screened. Twelve studies reported on vitamin C, four studies on vitamin D, three studies on thiamin, two studies on multivitamins, and one study on cobalamin. The therapeutic effects of vitamin C appear mixed, although vitamin C monotherapy appears more promising than vitamin C combination therapy. Intramuscular administration of vitamin D appeared to lower mortality, mechanical ventilation duration, and intensive care unit stay, whereas enteral administration showed limited clinical benefits. Intravenous thiamin was not associated with improved outcomes in patients with septic shock or hypophosphatemia. Preliminary evidence suggests reduced vasopressor dose with cobalamin. Decreased disease severity and hospital stay in patients with COVID-19 with vitamins A-E requires further investigation, whereas providing solely B-group vitamins did not demonstrate therapeutic effects. It is currently premature to endorse the provision of high-dose micronutrients in critical illness to improve clinical outcomes. This review may help to inform the design of future trials that will help better elucidate the optimal dosage and form of micronutrients, methods of administration, and subgroups of patients with critical illness who may most benefit.

Clin Nutr ESPEN 2024; 61:437-446. [PMID: 38777466 DOI: 10.1016/j.clnesp.2024.04.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/17/2024] [Revised: 04/12/2024] [Accepted: 04/15/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024]
Abstract
Micronutrients (MN), i.e. trace elements and vitamins, are essential components of the diet in relatively small amounts in any form of nutrition, with special needs in critically ill patients. Critical illness is characterised by the presence of inflammation and oxidative stress. MNs are tightly involved in antioxidant and immune defences. In addition, some conditions, and treatments result in large losses of biological fluids containing MNs: therefore, acute renal injury requiring renal replacement therapy, acute intestinal failure, and major burns and trauma are at high risk of acute depletion of body stores, and of deficiency. MN requirements are increased above standard DRI. Blood level interpretation is complicated by inflammation: some biomarkers assist the status determination. Due to the acute challenges of critical illness, it of utmost importance to cover the needs to maintain the organism's endogenous immune and antioxidant defences, and capacity to repair tissues. Practical strategies are proposed.

Int Immunopharmacol 2024; 133:112075. [PMID: 38663316 DOI: 10.1016/j.intimp.2024.112075] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2024] [Revised: 04/02/2024] [Accepted: 04/09/2024] [Indexed: 05/12/2024]
Abstract
Cuproptosis has recently been identified as a novel regulatory mechanism of cell death. It is characterized by the accumulation of copper in mitochondria and its binding to acylated proteins. These characteristics lead to the downregulation of iron-sulfur cluster proteins and protein toxicity stress, ultimately resulting in cell death. Cuproptosis is distinct from other types of cell death, including necrosis, apoptosis, ferroptosis, and pyroptosis. Cu induces oxidative stress damage, protein acylation, and the oligomerization of acylated TCA cycle proteins. These processes lead to the downregulation of iron-sulfur cluster proteins and protein toxicity stress, disrupting cellular Cu homeostasis, and causing cell death. Cuproptosis plays a significant role in the development and progression of various kidney diseases such as acute kidney injury, chronic kidney disease, diabetic nephropathy, kidney transplantation, and kidney stones. On the one hand, inducers of cuproptosis, such as disulfiram (DSF), chloroquinolone, and elesclomol facilitate cuproptosis by promoting cell oxidative stress. In contrast, inhibitors of Cu chelators, such as tetraethylenepentamine and tetrathiomolybdate, relieve these diseases by inhibiting apoptosis. To summarize, cuproptosis plays a significant role in the pathogenesis of kidney disease. This review comprehensively discusses the molecular mechanisms underlying cuproptosis and its significance in kidney diseases.

Abstract
Children receiving maintenance dialysis (chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 5d) have unique risk factors for micronutrient deficiency or toxicity. Children receiving chronic dialysis often require specialized diet plans that may provide more than the recommended daily allowance (RDA) of water-soluble vitamins and micronutrients, with or without the addition of a kidney-friendly vitamin. The following is a comprehensive review of current literature on disorders of micronutrients in this population including those of water-soluble vitamins (vitamin C and vitamin B complexes) and trace elements (copper, selenium, and zinc) and has three areas of focus: (1) the risk factors and clinical presentations of disorders of micronutrients, both deficiency and toxicity, (2) the tools to evaluate micronutrient status, and (3) the central role of renal dietitians in optimizing nutritional status from a micronutrient perspective.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Nutrition plays a vital role in the outcome of critical illness in children, particularly those with acute kidney injury. Currently, there are no established guidelines for children with acute kidney injury treated with continuous kidney replacement therapy. Our objective was to create clinical practice points for nutritional assessment and management in critically ill children with acute kidney injury receiving continuous kidney replacement therapy. METHODS An electronic search using PubMed and an inclusive academic library search (including MEDLINE, Cochrane, and Embase databases) was conducted to find relevant English-language articles on nutrition therapy for children (<18 y of age) receiving continuous kidney replacement therapy. RESULTS The existing literature was reviewed by our work group, comprising pediatric nephrologists and experts in nutrition. The modified Delphi method was then used to develop a total of 45 clinical practice points. The best methods for nutritional assessment are discussed. Indirect calorimetry is the most reliable method of predicting resting energy expenditure in children on continuous kidney replacement therapy. Schofield equations can be used when indirect calorimetry is not available. The non-intentional calories contributed by continuous kidney replacement therapy should also be accounted for during caloric dosing. Protein supplementation should be increased to account for the proteins, peptides, and amino acids lost with continuous kidney replacement therapy. CONCLUSIONS Clinical practice points are provided on nutrition assessment, determining energy needs, and nutrient intake in children with acute kidney injury and on continuous kidney replacement therapy based on the existing literature and expert opinions of a multidisciplinary panel.

Abstract
A major complication of heat-related illness is the development of acute kidney injury (AKI) and damage to kidney tubular cells. Because kidney tubular cells use fatty acids as a major energy source, impaired fatty acid oxidation (FAO) may be associated with kidney injury due to heat stress. Carnitine is essential in the transportation of fatty acid into mitochondria for FAO. To date, there has been little attention given to the role of carnitine in heat-related illness and AKI. To evaluate the relationship between carnitine inadequacy and heat-related illness severity or AKI, we examined serum carnitine levels in patients with heat-related illness. We also used heat-stressed mice to investigate the effect of l-carnitine pretreatment on various kidney functions such as mitochondrial activity, proinflammatory changes in kidney macrophages, and histological damage. We observed an elevation in serum acylcarnitine levels, indicating carnitine insufficiency in patients with severe heat-related illness and/or AKI. l-Carnitine pretreatment ameliorated ATP production in murine tubular cell mitochondria and prevented a change in the kidney macrophage population dynamics observed in AKI: a decrease in tissue-resident macrophages, influx of bone marrow-derived macrophages, and change toward proinflammatory M1 polarization. In conclusion, carnitine insufficiency may be closely associated with severe heat-related illness and related AKI. Enhancement of the FAO pathway by l-carnitine pretreatment may prevent heat stress-induced AKI by restoring mitochondrial function.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Enhancing fatty acid oxidation (FAO) after acute kidney injury (AKI) improves renal outcomes. This report shows that carnitine insufficiency, which could inhibit FAO, correlates to severe heat-related illness and AKI in a clinical study. We also demonstrate that administering l-carnitine to mice improves mitochondrial respiratory function and prevents deleterious changes in renal macrophage, resulting in improved renal outcomes of heat-induced AKI. l-Carnitine may be an effective preventive treatment for severe heat-related illness and related AKI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nutrition plays a vital role in the outcome of critically ill children, particularly those with AKI. Currently, there are no established guidelines for children with AKI treated with continuous RRT (CRRT). A thorough understanding of the metabolic changes and nutritional challenges in AKI and CRRT is required. Our objective was to create clinical practice points for nutritional assessment and management in critically ill children with AKI receiving CRRT. METHODS PubMed, MEDLINE, Cochrane, and Embase databases were searched for articles related to the topic. Expertise of the authors and a consensus of the workgroup were additional sources of data in the article. Available articles on nutrition therapy in pediatric patients receiving CRRT through January 2023. RESULTS On the basis of the literature review, the current evidence base was examined by a panel of experts in pediatric nephrology and nutrition. The panel used the literature review as well as their expertise to formulate clinical practice points. The modified Delphi method was used to identify and refine clinical practice points. CONCLUSIONS Forty-four clinical practice points are provided on nutrition assessment, determining energy needs, and nutrient intake in children with AKI and on CRRT on the basis of the existing literature and expert opinions of a multidisciplinary panel.

Abstract
Hypovitaminosis C is prevalent in critically ill patients. Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) clears vitamin C, increasing the risk for vitamin C deficiency. However, recommendations for vitamin C supplementation in critically ill patients receiving CRRT vary widely, from 250 mg/day to 12 g/day. This case report describes a patient who developed a severe vitamin C deficiency after prolonged CRRT despite receiving ascorbic acid (450 mg/day) supplementation in her parenteral nutrition. This report summarizes recent research investigating vitamin C status in critically ill patients receiving CRRT, discusses the patient case, and provides recommendations for clinical practice. In critically ill patients receiving CRRT, the authors of this manuscript suggest providing at least 1000 mg/day of ascorbic acid to prevent vitamin C deficiency. Baseline vitamin C levels should be checked in patients who are malnourished and/or have other risk factors for vitamin C deficiency, and vitamin C levels should be monitored thereafter every 1-2 weeks.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury impacts the micronutrient status by various mechanisms including decreased enteral absorption, changes in redistribution, altered metabolism, and increased consumption. When renal replacement therapy (RRT) is applied, there are additional losses of vitamins, trace elements, and amino acids, and their derivatives due to diffusion or adhesion. Varied data exist regarding the degree of micronutrient losses and plasma concentrations in patients who receive RRT, and these differ by RRT modality, dose, duration, and type of micronutrient. Water-soluble vitamins, selenium, copper, and carnitine are among the most frequently reported depleted nutrients. The role of micronutrient supplementation in critically ill patients undergoing RRT and the optimal dose and mode of administration are yet to be determined.

Personalized nutrition therapy in critical care: 10 expert recommendations. Crit Care 2023; 27:261. [PMID: 37403125 DOI: 10.1186/s13054-023-04539-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 18.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/25/2023] [Accepted: 06/22/2023] [Indexed: 07/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Personalization of ICU nutrition is essential to future of critical care. Recommendations from American/European guidelines and practice suggestions incorporating recent literature are presented. Low-dose enteral nutrition (EN) or parenteral nutrition (PN) can be started within 48 h of admission. While EN is preferred route of delivery, new data highlight PN can be given safely without increased risk; thus, when early EN is not feasible, provision of isocaloric PN is effective and results in similar outcomes. Indirect calorimetry (IC) measurement of energy expenditure (EE) is recommended by both European/American guidelines after stabilization post-ICU admission. Below-measured EE (~ 70%) targets should be used during early phase and increased to match EE later in stay. Low-dose protein delivery can be used early (~ D1-2) (< 0.8 g/kg/d) and progressed to ≥ 1.2 g/kg/d as patients stabilize, with consideration of avoiding higher protein in unstable patients and in acute kidney injury not on CRRT. Intermittent-feeding schedules hold promise for further research. Clinicians must be aware of delivered energy/protein and what percentage of targets delivered nutrition represents. Computerized nutrition monitoring systems/platforms have become widely available. In patients at risk of micronutrient/vitamin losses (i.e., CRRT), evaluation of micronutrient levels should be considered post-ICU days 5-7 with repletion of deficiencies where indicated. In future, we hope use of muscle monitors such as ultrasound, CT scan, and/or BIA will be utilized to assess nutrition risk and monitor response to nutrition. Use of specialized anabolic nutrients such as HMB, creatine, and leucine to improve strength/muscle mass is promising in other populations and deserves future study. In post-ICU setting, continued use of IC measurement and other muscle measures should be considered to guide nutrition. Research on using rehabilitation interventions such as cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) to guide post-ICU exercise/rehabilitation prescription and using anabolic agents such as testosterone/oxandrolone to promote post-ICU recovery is needed.

Kontinuierliche Nierenersatztherapie mit
Mikronährstoffdefizit assoziiert. AKTUELLE ERNÄHRUNGSMEDIZIN 2023. [DOI: 10.1055/a-1962-3465] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 02/18/2023]
Abstract
Bei schwer erkrankten Patienten mit akutem Nierenversagen kommt häufig
eine kontinuierliche Nierenersatztherapie zum Einsatz. Ein Nachteil dieser
Intervention ist ein erheblicher Verlust an essenziellen
Mikronährstoffen. M. Fah et al. haben nun die Prävalenzen eines
Defizits von Mikronährstoffen sowie Carnitin bei Patienten mit und ohne
einer kontinuierlichen Nierenersatztherapie verglichen.
