Outcome of kidney function in adults on long-term home parenteral nutrition for chronic intestinal failure

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate kidney function outcome in adults on home parenteral nutrition (HPN) for chronic intestinal failure using the newly recommended equations for estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) assessment in clinical practice. Methods: This was an observational study with 72 patients. Clinical and biochemical parameters were collected at initiation of HPN (retrospective baseline [BL]), at inclusion in the study (cross-sectional [CS]), and at the end of a 30-mo prospective follow-up (Fup). The eGFR (mL/min/1.73 m2 body surface) was calculated by the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration creatinine and categorized as normal, mildly decreased (MDKF), and chronic kidney disease (CKD) when ≥90, 60 to 89, and
