Nutrition & Pediatric BMT
Patients: A Case Study

Sickle Cell Disease
Autosomal recessive genetic disorder
Crescent-shaped RBCs due to abnormal hemoglobin in sickle cells
Cells can get “stuck” in blood vessels reduced blood flow
pain, infection, organ damage
RBCs have shortened lifespan chronic hemolytic anemia
Other complications include HTN, stroke
Sickle Cell Disease & Nutrition
Growth retardation and wasting common
Hypophagia
Increased RMR
Increased metabolic demands especially with sickle cell-related
complications
Wasting can lead to increased hospitalization and poorer clinical
outcomes
Stem Cell Transplantation
Hematopoietic stem cells from bone marrow, peripheral blood,
umbilical cord blood
Prep regimens to prevent formation of sickle cells + make room in
bone marrow for new stem cells
Complications: GVHD, infection, mucositis, HTN, electrolyte
imbalances
UCB Transplantation
More readily available source of stem cells
Lower occurrence of GVHD
However, delayed time to engraftment increased risk for
infection
Side effects of chemotherapy: nausea, vomiting, mucositis,
anorexia, taste changes, malabsorption
Suboptimal oral intake potential malnutrition
Mucositis
Adverse effect of high-dose chemotherapy which act on cells with
high turnover rates
Compromised integrity of mucosal epithelia that line entire GIT,
usually ~7-10 days after chemo starts, healing 14-21 days
Can lead to sepsis, ulceration, bleeding, malabsorption, diarrhea,
and pain
Inadequate oral fluid and food intake dehydration, malnutrition
Adequate nutrition support is important
Nutrition Support: Enteral Nutrition
EN preferable
Maintain normal gut function
Provide nutrients not available through TPN
Decreased risk of infection
Maintain gut-associated immune function
Cost containment
Nutrition Support: Enteral Nutrition
Risks: vomiting, tube dislodgement, excess discomfort due to
mucositis, occlusion of tube, potential bleeding from
placement/replacement secondary to thrombocytopenia
However, NG tubes have been used in pediatric patients following
BMT with good outcomes
Nutrition Support: Enteral Nutrition
PEG tubes
Risks: localized inflammation, infection, insertion site bleeding, feeding intolerance
Demonstrated optimization of nutrition and successful weight maintenance in pediatric+adult BMT patients
Due to immunosuppressive therapy for GVHD, extremely difficult decision whether complication of PEG tube placement outweighs benefits in high-risk patients
Study suggests that ANC should be considered before PEG placement + avoid placing during neutropenic episodes
Nutrition Support: TPN
Easier to administer as patients already have central venous access
for transplantation procedure
In adults, often argued that EN before PN
However, normal development and maturation in pediatrics is so
important that there is less debate
Nutrition Support: Perceptions
“I already had a port in for chemo so we used that with the TPN”
“Having a tube up her nose was a lot of hassle. TPN was more
convenient”
“TPN made life a little more ‘normal’”
“Don’t want things down my nose or throat”
“Tube feeding sounds disgusting and uncomfortable”
“Chose TF because it helped keep digestive system active, making it
easier to adjust back to food”
“TF is helpful in giving meds and not as hard on liver”
Glutamine
Shown to reduce severity of mucositis in children receiving chemo
Glutamine group had reduction in mean # of days of IV narcotics use and
TPN versus glycine
Decreased length of hospitalization potential $$ savings
“TA”
3 year old male with sickle cell disease
FT via NSVD; breastfed
Admitted January 22 for umbilical cord blood transplant
PMH: h/o dactylitis x2 episodes (2011), veno-occlusive crisis (2011),
E. Coli (2011), PNA (2012), stroke (2012)
Sx hx: liver biopy (2011), central line placement (2014)

Nutrition Diagnosis
Predicted suboptimal energy intake (NI-1.6) related to BMT as
evidenced by kcal needs increased 140-160% of BMR and protein
needs are 2.0-2.5 g/kg.
Estimated Needs
Energy: 70-80 kcal/kg
BMR x 1.4-1.6
Protein: 2.0-2.5 g/kg
Fluids: 1905 ml/day
Holliday-Segar method
Nutrition Intervention
Continue low bacterial diet for age.
Consider providing 240 ml Pediasure daily to help meet needs during
hospitalization.
BMP, Mg, Phos daily
LFTs and TG weekly
Weigh daily to monitor for weight stability during admission
Follow for regular bowel movements as prep regimen is initiated
Follow-up
Patient is being followed per low-risk protocol (<7 days)
Per medical chart, TA’s po intake had decreased. Pediasure TID
ordered.
If po intake does not improve and mother continues to decline EN,
TPN will be initiated per RD recommendations.
