Abstract
This meta-analysis demonstrates a clear advantage for glutamine supplementation in patients with acute pancreatitis who receive total parenteral nutrition. Patients with acute pancreatitis who receive enteral nutrition do not require glutamine supplementation. Further studies are warranted to determine whether patients who receive combined enteral and parenteral nutrition need glutamine supplementation.
