title: [Hepatic lipid overload in 2 cases of cholestasis associated with parenteral feeding].
abstract: The authors report 2 cases of patients with ileal stenosis who developed progressive jaundice while receiving total parenteral nutrition including lipids (Intralipid). In both cases the histologic and histochemical study of the liver demonstrated lipid overload in Kupffer cells and to a lesser extent hepatocytes. Biochemical study established that linoleic acid, a component of Intralipid, associated with a digalactosyl-diglyceride from vegetal origin were the main components of the hepatic overload. The authors hypothesize that two associated mechanisms were responsible for jaundice in their patients: Kupffer cell dysfunction due, at least in part, to lipid overload and intestinal bacterial overgrowth leading to endotoxinemia.
