Intestinal Failure Associated Liver Disease (IFALD) is a common and potentially life-threatening problem for pediatric patients receiving long-term parenteral nutrition (PN). Risk factors for IFALD include premature birth, low birth weight, long-term PN, intestinal stasis and sepsis. Preventative strategies are the cornerstone of improving outcomes in IFALD and include enteral feeding, weaning of PN, reduced dose lipid emulsions and the early recognition and treatment of sepsis. Recent work also demonstrates the efficacy of fish-oil based lipid emulsions in the prevention and treatment of IFALD. Transplantation is an option for end-stage liver disease but is associated with significant morbidity and mortality.
