We support the treatment and recuperation of patients with intestinal dysfunction in multiple disciplines, providing comprehensive and specialized medical treatment. The conditions are gastrointestinal diseases, such as short bowel disease, intestinal motility dysfunction, and intractable diarrhea, which require parenteral nutrition because the intestine alone cannot maintain nutrition.

Treated diseases

Short bowel disease

A condition in which a large amount of small intestine has been resected or the intestine is congenitally short, so that it is not possible to absorb sufficient nutrients and water from the intestine. Many patients with diarrhea, weight loss, dehydration or malnutrition are dependent on total parenteral nutrition.

Intestinal motility dysfunction

A refractory disease that causes symptoms of intestinal obstruction, such as abdominal distension, nausea/vomiting, abdominal pain, and bowel dilation, despite the absence of anatomical intestinal obstruction. There is still no standard treatment, and total parenteral nutrition is relied on, because dietary intake is inadequate due to dehydration from diarrhea or ileus/abdominal pain from abdominal distension. Since the condition of each patient is different, surgical treatment or intestinal rehabilitation is needed according to the individual's condition.

Intractable diarrhea

Even though the anatomical morphology of the intestinal tract is normal, nutrients cannot be absorbed because of marked watery diarrhea due to functional abnormality of the intestinal mucosa. Many patients with diarrhea, weight loss, dehydration or malnutrition depend on long-term total parenteral nutrition.

Others

Consultation is also available for patients who have disabilities because of diseases that are not directly related to the gastrointestinal tract, for whom ingestion is not possible, or who require a colostomy due to difficulty in defecation management.
