Who can join

Age: 0 and older, up to 17. Sex: any. Healthy volunteers: not accepted.

You may qualify if…

• Male or female patients, at least 1 month of age.
• Patients who require PN for at least 5 days/week.
• 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.
• 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).

You may not qualify if…

• Direct bilirubin exceeding 2 x upper limit of normal range
• INR exceeding 2 x upper limit of normal range and patient not receiving oral anticoagulants.
• Any known hepatic condition outside of IFALD that will increase direct bilirubin ≥2.0 mg/dL.
• Clinically significant abnormal levels of any serum electrolyte (sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, chloride, phosphate).
• Active bloodstream infection demonstrated by positive blood culture at screening.
• Severe renal failure (eGFR <15 ml/min per 1.73 m2) including patients on renal replacement therapy.
• Abnormal blood pH, oxygen saturation, or carbon dioxide.
• Pregnancy or lactation.
• Participation in another interventional clinical study.
• Unlikely to survive longer than 56 days.
