Experience with 18 obese patients who have undergone prolonged (60 days) therapeutic starvation shows that in general this is a safe procedure, but there are significant associated hazards, particularly a breakdown in electrolyte homoeostasis. The need for close biochemical control of such patients is stressed.
对18名接受长期(60天)治疗性饥饿的肥胖患者的经验表明,总体而言这是一个安全的程序,但存在重大的相关风险,尤其是电解质稳态的破坏。强调对此类患者进行密切生化监测的必要性。
