Inflammation and its modification by diet

doc. MUDr. Jan Kábrt, CSc
Interní oddělení, Clinicum, Praha

Nutrition enriched with glutamine, arginine, nucleotides, polyunsaturated fatty acids and some antioxidants can improve the immune

system of patients in stress conditions. Such a nutrition strategy can reduce late postoperative infections, wound complications, days on

ventilator, hospital length of stay and treatment cost in patients with severe injury, inflammation or major surgery. It is likely that other

studies will uncover important roles for other nutrients for use in clinical practice.

Keywords: imunonutrition, immunonutrients, acute inflammatory response.
