Clinical Trial Summary
The aim of this study is to evaluate the risk factors of PNAC in neonates
Description:
Neonates with prematurity,gastrointestinal dysfunction and very low birth weights are often
intolerant to oral feeding.In such infants,the provision of nutrients via parenteral
nutrition (PN)becomes necessary for short term survival,as well as long-term health. Wilmore
and Dudrick first reported use of parenteral nutrition(PN) for an infant more than 40years
ago Soon there after physicians recognized that PN was associated with significant liver
changes.In the first reported case of parenteral nutrition-associated conjugated
hyperbilirubinemia (PNAC) in a premature infant hepatomegaly was noted on the18thday of
fat-free PN and worsened until death on the71st day of life The hyperbilirubinemia manifest
in PNAC is thought to occur from impaired hepatic bileflow, an adynamic gallbladder,and an
upsurge in release of conjugated bilirubin as an infant matures.Atbirth,preterm neonates
havereduced activity of the uridine diphosphate glucuronosyl transferase1A1 liver
enzyme(UDPGT)that catalyzes conjugation of bilirubin As the infant develops,UDPGT becomes
more functional, increasing hepatocyte efficiency for conjugation.Thus,in combination with
cholestasis,and neonatal intestinal absorption of unconjugated bilirubin,more conjugated
bilirubin is made available to pass from the liver into circulation. Parenteral nutrition
associated cholestasis (PNAC) is the most common form of liver damage in neonates while
receiving parenteral nutrition(PN).Its prevalence was reported between10%and 60%in NICU
Cholestasisis acommonly described complication of PN. Its etiology is not fully understood
and is thought to be multifactorial Proposed mechanisms included altered bile salt
metabolisms secondary to prematurity and toxic effect of PN components on the liver the
presence or absence of specific components in parenteral nutrition solutions most certainly
contributing to the disease mechanism,and gastrointestinal systems .Aggravating factors such
as sepsis and duration of bowel rest have also been described
