Nutrition support is a major life-saving technique. Therefore the indication for enteral and parenteral nutrition must be clear in each case before treatment is started, whereby the aim is to return to normal food intake as soon as possible. We tried to describe the methods of examination of nutritional status and the indications for nutritional support, using either the enteral or parenteral route, in patients with digestive disease.
