Official title
Influence of Recombinant Human Growth Hormone on Intestinal Permeability and Liver Injury in Intestinal Failure Patients Receiving Parenteral Nutrition (Serono Project)
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Patients who are being asked to participate in this study have a short small bowel and will be prescribed to take the medication: Zorbtive® ("Zorbtive/Somatropin/(rHGH)"). Zorbtive® is an FDA approved recombinant human growth hormone (rHGH). The investigators want to see if taking this medication improves small bowel function by helping it to take in food, nutrients, vitamins and minerals. The investigators also believe that if the small bowel is absorbing food and nutrients better, liver function will improve as well. Therefore, liver function will also be monitored during the course of the study by performing blood tests.
