Hepatic Fibrosis Persists and Progresses Despite Biochemical Improvement in Children Treated With Intravenous Fish Oil Emulsion

Abstract

In children treated with FOE, reversal of hyperbilirubinemia is not reflected by a similar histologic regression of fibrosis at the timepoints studied. Children with IFALD should have active ongoing treatment and be considered for early referral to an Intestinal Failure Program even with a normalized bilirubin.
