Nutritional support for infants with cholestasis

Abstract

Cholestatic liver disease in newborns and young children is a common cause of malnutrition. Many diseases have a chronic progressive course with the formation of biliary cirrhosis, liver failure and require early liver transplantation. Nutritional status is an important prognostic predictor of morbidity and mortality in patients both at the stage of waiting and after transplantation, which determines the importance of timely correction of the main macro- and micronutrients deficiency. Available literature data and our experience indicate the need to use a high-calorie diet with a high content of medium chain triglycerides, polyunsaturated fatty acids, protein, fat-soluble vitamins and minerals in this category of children.
