Anthony J DeaconParis HoeyFlorian GrimpenLeo FrancisIan BrownBarbara LeggettPublished in: Clinical case reports (2024)
We present a case of Cronkhite-Canada syndrome in a patient with decompensated cirrhosis who had successful induction of remission with nutritional supplementation alone. We propose that early institution of high-protein, high-energy enteral supplementation should be offered to all patients, especially those with compelling contraindications to immunosuppression.
