Oral rehydration solution for the management of fluid and electrolyte disturbances in patients with an ileostomy: A scoping review

Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract Ileostomy creation is common among patients with colorectal cancer, diverticulitis, and inflammatory bowel disease. Surgical removal or diversion of the colon can result in nutrition complications, most notably dehydration—a leading cause of hospital readmission—and increased risk of kidney injury.
