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.

“…To date, however, there have been no placebo-controlled studies with only data coming from case reports, case series, and historic controls wherein the children often receiving lipid emulsion doses are far in excess of what is typically recommended. There is concern, however, that although in the children total serum bilirubin concentration decreased, there was no improvement in histologic abnormalities when explanted livers were examined posttransplant [97,98] The fish oil-based emulsions also do not contain essential fatty acids, and essential fatty acid deficiency may develop. Currently, no fish oil-based omega-3 fatty product is FDA-approved for use in the USA except under an investigator-initiated Bcompassionate use^investigational new drug application (IND), which also requires a patient-informed consent.…”

“…Varias publicaciones describen mejoría de la colestasis, con reducciones significativas de la bilirrubina en pacientes dependientes de NP, utilizando estas emulsiones como única fuente de lípidos (14,15). Sin embargo esta mejoría de la colestasis no siempre se asocia a una menor progresión a fibrosis (16)(17)(18)(19).…”
