Liver Dysfunction Associated with Parenteral Nutrition: What Are the Options?
نویسنده
چکیده
INTRODUCTION Patients who cannot support their nutritional needs via the enteral route due to intestinal failure often require parenteral nutrition (PN). Prolonged PN may be necessary in patients suffering from a variety of gastrointestinal motility, malabsorptive, or metabolic disorders (1). As the number of patients relying on prolonged PN support increases, associations between PN and an array of hepatobiliary complications emerge. There are differing categories of PNassociated liver dysfunction affecting infants and adults (Table 1). Cholestatic syndromes occur more NUTRITION ISSUES IN GASTROENTEROLOGY, SERIES #45

BAPEN Symposium 4 on ‘Managing complications in long-term parenteral nutrition’ Managing liver dysfunction in parenteral nutrition
Parenteral nutrition is life saving in patients with intestinal failure but liver dysfunction is commonly encountered, especially in neonates. Although abnormal liver function tests associated with short-term parenteral nutrition are usually benign and transient, liver dysfunction in both children and adults receiving long-term parenteral nutrition can progress to end-stage liver disease and li...
متن کاملReversal of intestinal failure-associated liver disease (IFALD): emphasis on its multifactorial nature.
Patients with intestinal failure (IF) and home parenteral nutrition commonly develop abnormal liver function tests. The presentations of IF-associated liver disease (IFALD) range from mild cholestasis or steatosis to cirrhosis and decompensated liver disease. We describe the reversal of IFALD in an adult patient with IF secondary to severe Crohn's disease and multiple small bowel resections. Th...

OBJECTIVE Parenteral nutrition in infants with gastrointestinal disorders can be lifesaving, but it is also associated with parenteral nutrition-associated liver disease. We investigated the effects of incorporating ω-3 fish oil in a parenteral nutrition mixture on signs of parenteral nutrition-associated liver disease and explored the mechanism involved in this process. METHODS Seven-day-old...
متن کاملSteroidal Compounds in Commercial Parenteral Lipid Emulsions
Parenteral nutrition lipid emulsions made from various plant oils contain steroidal compounds, called phytosterols. During parenteral administration of lipid emulsions, phytosterols can reach levels in the blood that are many fold higher than during enteral administration. The elevated phytosterol levels have been associated with the development of liver dysfunction and the rare development of ...
متن کاملEffect of an Olive Oil-Based Lipid Emulsion Compared With a Soybean Oil-Based Lipid Emulsion on Liver Chemistry and Bile Acid Composition in Preterm Infants Receiving Parenteral Nutrition: A Double-Blind, Randomized Trial.
BACKGROUND The pathogenesis of parenteral nutrition (PN)-associated liver dysfunction is multifactorial. Lipid emulsions may be one of the putative mechanisms. Our aim was to comparatively assess the effect of parenteral olive oil- and soybean oil-based lipid emulsions on liver chemistry and bile acid composition in preterm infants. METHODS We performed a double-blind, randomized clinical stu...
