Marta Żalikowska-Gardocka, Adam Przybyłkowski
Abstract
Parenteral nutrition has been widely used in patients whose gastrointestinal tract is anatomically or physiologically unavailable for sufficient food intake. It has been considered lifesaving but is not without adverse effects. It has been proven to cause liver injury through different mechanisms. We present a review of parenteral nutrition-associated liver disease.
