“…IFALD is a multifactorial entity, resulting, for example, from a variety of nutrient excesses and/or deficiencies. Lipid excess, in particular, can be especially hepatotoxic,29 and recent evidence suggests that the use of more sophisticated lipids (eg, medium chain triglyceride/long-chain triglyceride mixtures and monounsaturated fatty acids, or fish-oil based lipid emulsions) may further attenuate hepatic injury 28. A key challenge over the next few years is to identify patients at risk of developing IFALD at an early stage to facilitate, for example, the early targeted use of these second/third generation lipids, before patients with IF develop end-stage liver disease necessitating multivisceral transplantation.…”
