Background: Vitamin K is not a component of the multivitamin. preparation added to parenteral nutrition (PN) solutions, and hospitalized patients receiving parenteral nutrition support are at risk of developing vitamin K deficiency. Methods: In this study, 84 consecutive patients receiving PN were followed up prospectively to determine the incidence of a raised international normalized ratio (INR). All patients received lipid in their PN, which contains approximately 30 p,g of vitamin K/100 mL. Results: Patients were followed up for the course of PN or up to 4 weeks if they needed longer total parenteral nutrition. A raised INR compared with baseline developed in 3.6% of patients. All elevations were mild, and no patients developed clinical bleeding. Conclusions: It may be unnecessary to routinely supplement patients with vitamin K if they are receiving a lipid emulsion containing significant amounts of vitamin K. For patients receiving warfarin therapy, it will be important for nutrition support services to be aware of the vitamin K content of the lipid emulsion they are using as patients receiving a multivitamin preparation containing vitamin K and lipid emulsion may receive increased amounts of vitamin. K, which could lead to warfarin resistance.
