Children with Cholestatic Liver Disease: Nutrition
January 11, 2023
8PM ET
Children with cholestatic liver diseases have unique nutritional requirements. Without bile reaching their intestines, they often suffer from fat-malabsorption and associated consequences. As a result, they require formulas with special fat preparations, as well as intensive monitoring to ensure adequate growth. They also often have fat-soluble vitamin deficiencies requiring aggressive supplementation.
In this webinar, the second in a four-part series, nutritional considerations in children with cholestasis will be discussed, with special emphasis on nutritional support and vitamin/micronutrient deficiencies.
