Agenda

ABOUT THIS WORKSHOP

Parenteral nutrition-associated liver disease (PNALD)/ intestinal failure-associated liver disease (IFALD) can occur in patients who require parenteral nutrition for more than two weeks, and the incidence increases with longer duration of treatment. PNALD/IFALD can result in permanent liver injury, and sometimes results in liver transplant or death. Although PNALD/IFALD has many risk factors, the phytosterol content of intravenous lipid emulsions (ILEs) used as part of total parenteral nutrition is a modifiable risk factor. In the last six years, FDA approved ILEs with lower or no phytosterol content.

This scientific workshop will discuss:

  • The changing epidemiology of PNALD/IFALD over the last decade
  • Strategies for managing PNALD/IFALD
  • The role of phytosterols in the disease process
  • Potential next steps for mitigating the risk of PNALD/IFALD

INTENDED AUDIENCE

  • Neonatologists, pediatric gastroenterologists and hepatologists, pediatric surgeons, adult gastroenterologists and hepatologists, PharmDs with a nutrition focus, nutritionists
  • Manufacturers of intravenous lipid emulsions
  • Researchers working on parenteral nutrition-associated liver disease/ intestinal failure-associated liver disease
  • Foreign regulators
