Does age play a factor in parenteral nutrition induced liver disease and/or cholestasis even among reducing lipid emulsions?

Emma Alvarez-Roth

It’s said that cholestasis resulting in parenteral nutrition associated liver disease (PNALD) is found among babies and young children (1).

- How does this affect those of other ages and/or those with growth delays?

- How does age impact the risk of liver disease alongside long term PN use?
