Intralipid Versus SMOFlipid in HPN Patients

Randomized Prospective Trial Comparing Intralipid Versus SMOFlipid in New HPN Patients.

This study will randomize all patients who are new to the Mayo Clinic HPN team to either standard lipid emulsion (Intralipid) or SMOFLipid.

Primary aim is to assess the impact to direct/indirect bilirubin.

Secondary aims will be to assess impact to other liver function studies, metabolic parameters, inflammatory marker, body weight, ability to meet caloric needs through TPN, and ability to obtain appropriate macronutrient composition.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patients who have active infection (as determined by the clinician) at the time of enrollment.
• Patients who have received Smoflipid greater than 4 weeks in the last 12 months prior to enrollment.
