Measure
Omegaven
Subjects will receive Omegaven at a dose of up to 1 g/kg body weight/day until they no longer require Total Parenteral Nutrition or until their conjugated/direct bilirubin has normalized and their enteral lipid intake is sufficient to discontinue intravenous lipids. Omegaven: For the first two days of treatment, subjects will receive Omegaven® at 0.5 g/kg per day to assess tolerance and will progress to a maintenance dosage of up to 1g/kg per day over 12 hours at an infusion rate of 1 g/kg/12 hours (10 ml/kg/12 hours). Dosing is based on previously described dosing of fish-oil emulsions as monotherapy noted within the literature. Omegaven® will be infused intravenously through either a central or peripheral catheter in conjunction with other parenteral nutrition containing dextrose and amino acids. Omegaven® is isotonic. It is compatible with parenteral nutrition solutions and may be co-infused via y-site.

Number of Participants With a Change in Conjugated/Direct Bilirubin
4 Participants

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Completion of Therapy (time frame from 1-14 weeks)

Change in unconjugated/total bilirubin level to below 1.1 mg/dL. General outcomes of participants are reported due to the enrollment of very few patients so that we have too small a cohort with which to assess achievement of our stipulated outcomes.
