Résumé : Intestinal failure-associated liver disease is a multifactorial process that may occur in patients with chronic intestinal failure on long-term home parenteral nutrition. A very short gut, the lack of enteral feeding, recurrent sepsis, and parenteral overfeeding are major risk factors. Histologic changes include steatosis, steatohepatitis, cholestasis, fibrosis, and cirrhosis. Chronic cholestasis is common, but does not always progress to fibrosis and/or cirrhosis. Preventing harmful factors may dramatically decrease the risk of intestinal failure-associated liver disease. Advanced liver disease is an indication for intestinal and/or multivisceral transplantation. Biliary stone formation is frequent and mainly due to a lack of enteral feeding.
