About this study

Official title: Compassionate Use of an Intravenous Lipid Emulsion Comprised of Fish Oil in the Treatment of Parenteral Nutrition Induced Liver Injury in Children

To establish a process by which critically ill infants with parenteral nutrition-associated liver disease can receive a fish oil-based intravenous lipid emulsion (Omegaven®) for compassionate use when no satisfactory alternative treatments are available.

Read the detailed description

Patients who meet the inclusion criteria (having a direct bilirubin ≥4.0 mg/dL) and are consented will be discontinued from standard soybean-based lipid emulsion and started on Omegaven®. Omegaven® will be infused continuously via either a peripheral or central catheter at a dose of 1 gm/kg/day along with parenteral nutrition (PN).
