To answer this question, we performed a retrospective chart review of electronic medical record data from subjects who previously underwent laparoscopic living donor nephrectomy at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU). Our study population included 55 adult subjects who received preoperative carbohydrate loading and 93 adult historical control subjects who did not receive preoperative carbohydrate loading. Clinical outcomes, including LOS, length of time required to return to regular oral food and fluid intake, and incidence of postoperative gastrointestinal complications were assessed and compared between the two groups. 000009130 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000009130 650__ $$aLaparoscopy$$023847 000009130 650__ $$aKidney Transplantation$$028834 000009130 650__ $$aNephrectomy$$022780 000009130 650__ $$aGastrointestinal Tract$$035150 000009130 650__ $$aElectronic Health Records$$038928 000009130 650__ $$aLiving Donors$$031666 000009130 650__ $$aRetrospective Studies$$025415 000009130 650__ $$aLength of Stay$$021400 000009130 650__ $$aDiet, Carbohydrate Loading$$011592 000009130 6531_ $$aretrospective chart review 000009130 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000009130 692__ $$aGraduate Programs in Human Nutrition$$041470 000009130 7001_ $$aKuiper, Morgan$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000009130 7201_ $$aVan Calcar, Sandra$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$7Personal$$eAdvisor$$eMentor 000009130 8564_ $$91d58bff5-109c-4f29-a566-8db7413e4d6f$$s838926$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/9130/files/Kuiper.Morgan.2021.pdf$$ePublic$$20a2cc1e5f2490d677faeb34226908bc6$$31 000009130 905__ $$a/rest/prod/vt/15/0k/19/vt150k19j 000009130 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:9130$$pstudent-work 000009130 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
