Area of Science:

  • Neonatology
  • Pediatric Gastroenterology
  • Hepatology

Background:

  • Parenteral nutrition-associated cholestasis (PNAC) is a significant cause of illness and death in newborns.
  • Cholestasis in neonates receiving parenteral nutrition remains a critical clinical challenge.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review recent advancements in understanding PNAC.
  • To discuss emerging risk factors, potential etiologies (including genetic factors), and therapeutic strategies for PNAC.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of recent studies on PNAC.
  • Synthesis of information on risk factors, pathogenesis, and treatment options.

Main Results:

  • Identification of recently associated risk factors for PNAC.
  • Exploration of potential etiologies, encompassing genetic predispositions.
  • Discussion of therapeutic interventions, including ursodeoxycholic acid and cholecystokinin.

Conclusions:

  • Understanding novel risk factors and genetic causes is crucial for managing PNAC.
  • Emerging therapies offer new hope for treating this condition in neonates.
