Comparison of liver function with two new/mixed intravenous lipid emulsions in children with intestinal failure

The high incidence of liver disease associated with intravenous soybean lipid has led to development and use of alternative intravenous lipid emulsions (ILEs). The aim of this study was to compare two new/mixed ILEs: a medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) combined with soybean (i.e., Lipofundin) and a combination of both these lipids with additional olive and fish oils (SMOF).Neonates/premature infants newly starting parenteral nutrition (PN)...
