Inclusion Criteria
  1. Male or female patients, at least 1 month of age.
  2. Patients who require PN for at least 5 days/week.
  3. Patients who receive 80% or more of their total energy requirements as PN at enrollment and who are expected to receive 80% or more of their total energy requirements as PN for at least 56 days.
  4. Written informed consent. In case of pediatric patients, informed consent must be obtained from parent(s) or legal representatives. If possible, the assent of the pediatric patient must also be obtained (according to local law).
Exclusion Criteria

  8. Direct bilirubin exceeding 2 x upper limit of normal range
  9. INR exceeding 2 x upper limit of normal range and patient not receiving oral anticoagulants.
  10. Any known hepatic condition outside of IFALD that will increase direct bilirubin ≥2.0 mg/dL.
