Assessment of micronutrient status of patients requiring long-term parenteral nutrition (PN) continues to be a challenge for clinicians. The scientific literature primarily consists of small studies and case reports. There are no evidence-based guidelines available. Clinicians rely on clinical assessment according to the patient's disease process, medication regimen, physical examination, and history of nutrient intake to determine existence or risk of micronutrient deficiency and toxicity. This paper will examine current scientific evidence and existing recommendations for the micronutrient assessment and management of patients requiring long-term PN.
