This study is being done to determine if an investigational study drug called Omegaven can help to improve liver disease thought to be caused by Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN). TPN is intravenous feeding (IV feeding tube) that provides patients the nutrients when they are unable to drink fluid or eat food by mouth.
PAtients with direct bilirubin >2gm/dL and short bowel syndrome are eligible for enrollment. Omegaven at 1gm/kg/day will be administered via central venous line instead of standard lipid preparations.

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Bilirubin in mg/dL | PN associated liver disease can be reversed or its progression halted by using a parenteral fat emulsion prepared from fish oil as measured by normalization of serum levels of hepatic enzymes and bilirubin 1. after reaching bilirubin levels >2mg/dl, subjects receiving Omegaven will reach a bilirubin level < 2mg/dL faster that patients receiving conventional fat emulsions. | 12 weeks |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Number of participants with adverse events | a. After starting Omegaven on PN, the rate of fatty acid deficiencies and imbalances will be as low as before Omegaven. Also, the rate of triglyceride events >400mg/dL with Omegaven will be similar to that seen with PN administration with soy oil Intralipid. B. PN containing Omegaven will be safe for patients with respect to the risk of unexpected bleeding, coagulopathies, and other adverse events. |
