Of the 150 patients, 26 experienced neurological complications related to the surgery. What is the most likely cause for the neurological complications?
A. sudden weight loss and caloric deficiency interfering with neurological function
B. nutrient (for example, vitamin and mineral) deficiencies
C. sloppy surgical technique of physicians performing the bypass surgery
D. infections following surgical intervention

Respuesta :

The most likely cause for the neurological complications are nutrient (for example, vitamin and mineral) deficiencies.

The lack of essential nutrients such vitamin B(12), folate, copper, vitamin E, thiamine, and others was found to be associated with neurologic symptoms.

Both the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS) may be affected by neurological complications.

The severity of these complications can range from mild ones that can only be seen on neuroimaging to substantial ones that cause significant morbidity and mortality.

Before the period of comprehensive preventative efforts, a severe peripheral axonal neuropathy was more frequently recognized in the neurological consequences subsequent to disorders resulting in malabsorption or defective transport of all liposoluble vitamins (cholestasis, mucoviscidosis, A-lipoproteinemia).
