Fructose is used intravenously as a carbohydrate nutrient. It is converted to liver glycogen and metabolized more rapidly than dextrose without requiring insulin and thus may be used in diabetic patients. Fructose is indicated in patients requiring fluid replacement and caloric feeding. It is better “nitrogen sparer” than glucose.
Intravenous fluid preparations
fructose is frequently derived from sugar cane, sugar beets, and corn. Crystalline fructose is the monosaccharide, dried, ground, and of high purity. High fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is a mixture of glucose and fructose as monosaccharides. Sucrose is a compound with one molecule of glucose covalently linked to one molecule of fructose. All forms of fructose, including fruits and juices, are commonly added to foods and drinks for palatability and taste enhancement, and for browning of some foods, such as baked goods.
The volume and rate of infusion of fructose IV solution will depend upon the requirements of the patient and the judgement of attending physician. But the rate of infusion of fructose should not exceed 0.5-1 gm/kg body weight per hour.The usual recommended flow rate for adult is 30-75 drops per minute infused intravenously.
Fructose is contraindicated in certain inborn errors of fructose metabolism, methyl alcohol poisoning, hyperuricemia, liver failure, and lactic acidosis.
Intravenous administration of fructose may cause lactic acidosis and hyperuricemia.The rapid infusion of fructose results in facial flushing, abdominal pain and sweating.
