Study Summary

The investigators propose to assess 36 donors' nutritional status using accepted parameters (prealbumin, resting energy expenditure); to assess nutrient intestinal absorption through 13Curacil breath tests; and to evaluate serum concentrations of IL-6 and TNFalpha to determine if continuing or initiating enteral feeding and nutritional supplementation is effective in restoring or maintaining nutritional parameters.

Primary Outcome

Plasma IL-6 level measured by ELISA. The 12+/-2 hour time frame is prior to organ explantation.

Interventions

  • DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT enteral feeding with Oxepa® and Glutasolve®
