Abstract:
Hepatobiliary complications of enteral nutrition have been studied little. The incidence of increase in hepatic enzymes during enteral nutrition is minimal, less than 5% and no clinical hepatic disorder has been observed during enteral nutrition. The gall bladder is contractile and echo-less. Unlike total parenteral nutrition, enteral nutrition does not cause any hepatobiliary complications.
