Lymphedema is a condition caused by the accumulation of protein-rich fluid in the interstitial space due to inadequate lymph drainage. The most important factors for treatment are preventing the development of lymphedema in the early stages and preventing and slowing down its progression if it has developed. Successful treatment of lymphedema requires a long and challenging process and requires a multidisciplinary approach. Nutrition is one of the main components in the therapeutic management of vascular diseases. It is thought that dietary therapies that provide ideal body weight control, support intestinal health, prevent the development of edema, prevent overload increase in the lymphatic system, and support the immune system can be considered one of the treatment components of disease management. This review aims to examine the results of the studies in the literature on the nutritional treatment of lymphedema.

LENFÖDEM YÖNETİMİNDE TIBBİ BESLENME TEDAVİSİ YAKLAŞIMLARI

Öz

Lenfödem; lenf drenajındaki yetersizlik sonucunda proteinden zengin sıvının interstisyel alanda birikimi ile oluşan bir durumdur. Lenfödemin ilk evrelerde gelişiminin önlenmesi, gelişmiş ise ilerlemesinin engellenmesi ve yavaşlatılması tedavi için en önemli unsurlardandır. Uzun ve zor bir süreç gerektiren lenfödem tedavisinin başarılı olabilmesi multidisipliner bir yaklaşım gerektirmektedir. Beslenme, damar hastalıklarının terapötik yönetiminde temel bileşenlerden biridir. İdeal vücut ağırlığı kontrolü sağlayan, bağırsak sağlığını destekleyen, ödem gelişimini önleyici, lenfatik sistemdeki aşırı yük artışını engelleyici ve immün sistemi destekleyici diyet tedavilerinin hastalık yönetiminin tedavi bileşenlerinden biri olarak kabul edilebileceği düşünülmektedir. Bu derlemede lenfödemin beslenme tedavisine yönelik literatürde yer alan çalışma sonuçlarını incelemek amaçlanmıştır.

Anahtar Kelimeler
