hyperalimentation
Hyperalimentation is a medical term referring to the process of feeding a person intravenously, bypassing the usual process of eating and digestion. This is typically used for patients who cannot ingest food, have an inability to absorb nutrients through their digestive system, or require more nutrients than a normal diet can provide. It is also known as total parenteral nutrition or TPN.

Hyperalimentation
Hyperalimentation refers to a state where quantities of food consumed are greater than appropriate. It includes overeating, as well as other routes of administration such as in parenteral nutrition. The term can also be used to describe ingestion to compensate for past deficiencies. In this context, it can refer to parenteral nutrition, though this has been described as incorrect. It is a frequent iatrogenic cause of normal anion gap acidosis, a subset of metabolic acidosis. Hyperalimentation can also cause an osmotic diuresis due to an increased load of urea from protein catabolism. Frequently, it is also associated with opportunistic infections by Candida albicans.
