A patient at a long-term care facility has been receiving long-term total parenteral nutrition
(TPN) because of gut immobility. He has developed skin lesions on his neck, underarms, and
groin. You are asked to review his TPN solution. The label does not list linoleic or linolenic
acid; however, all of the other macronutrients are listed in adequate quantities. What is one
possible diagnosis for the development of these lesions?
Diet deficient in essential amino acids
Diet deficient in triglycerides
Diet deficient in essential fatty acids
Diet deficient in carbohydrates Correct Ans-Diet deficient in essential fatty acids
Rationale:
Essential fatty acid deficiency causes abnormalities in cell membranes, which will eventually
be demonstrated as scaly skin on any part of the body. Even if the patient is receiving enough
fat, in general, essential fatty acids must be added to the TPN solution to prevent deficiency
since the body cannot synthesize them. In reality, this scenario would rarely occur in the
United States. The most commonly observed deficiency in essential fatty acids is observed in
infants fed skim milk, although this scenario is rare as well
