Failure of resolution of portal fibrosis during omega-3 fatty acid lipid emulsion therapy in two patients with irreversible intestinal failure.
2010
Parenteral omega-3 fatty acid lipid emulsions have been evaluated for their potential role in reversing intestinal failure-associated liver disease. We report our experience using Omegaven in 2 patients with irreversible intestinal failure and intestinal failure-associated liver disease. Despite biochemical and histologic improvement in cholestasis, both patients had persisting, significant portal fibrosis on liver biopsy.
