- Abstract
Parenteral nutrition (PN)-associated liver dysfunction (PNALD) in term infants usually manifests as intrahepatic cholestasis, which recovers with enteral nutrition (EN) in most cases; however, as the number of extremely low-birthweight infants (ELBWI) has been increasing, and consequently intestinal diseases associated with ELBWI have been increasing, more intractable PNALD has been encountered after surgical treatment in ELBWI, which does not resolve or rather worsens with EN.
