Eating disorders may result in medical complications that affect every body system with both acute and chronic consequences. Although some medical complications may require acute medical hospitalization to manage, other complications, such as low bone mineral density, may not present until malnutrition has become chronic. It is critical for team members to be aware of the early clinical signs of malnutrition and disordered eating behaviors, as well as longer-term complications that may affect their patients. When identifying eating disorder concerns, appropriate colleagues from the medical, nutrition, and psychiatric fields can be engaged in order to collaborate on stabilizing and improving the health of patients.
饮食失调可能导致医学并发症,这些并发症会影响身体的各个系统,产生急性和慢性后果。虽然有些医学并发症可能需要紧急住院治疗,但其他并发症,如低骨矿物质密度,可能直到营养不良发展为慢性时才会出现。团队成员必须了解营养不良和饮食行为紊乱的早期临床症状,以及可能影响患者的长期并发症,这一点至关重要。在确定饮食失调问题时,可以邀请医学、营养和精神科领域的合适同事共同合作,以稳定和改善患者的健康状况。
