Abstract

The patient with anorexia nervosa who requires admission to an acute medical unit is at high risk of major complications and death. Optimal outcomes require careful and coordinated care, with appropriate attention to the pathophysiological changes that affect many organ systems. Nutritional support is self-evidently necessary, to begin to restore normal body composition, but must be implemented with care, both to avoid the refeeding syndrome and to ensure that sufficient nutrients are given. Continual interaction with the eating disorders’ team helps to optimise psychological care and facilitate later transition back to their care.
