Abstract

Total parenteral nutrition offers the chance of survival to children who have had extensive gut resections or gut failure. However, in infants it is often associated with serious complications including cholestatic liver disease. The causes of these complications remain unclear, although it has been suggested that the lipid emulsions used in total parenteral nutrition may be responsible.
