Table 5.
Plasma liver function markers and triglycerides in patients receiving different lipid emulsions. Data are median (interquartile range).
| Marker | ClinOleic | Intralipid | SMOFLipid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total bilirubin (mg/dL) | 0.6 (0.4, 0.8) | 0.6 (0.4, 0.9) | 0.4 (0.3, 0.7) |
| ALT (U/L) | 46 (27, 61) | 36 (29, 59) | 34 (26, 60) |
| AST (U/L) | 28 (21, 43) | 26 (21, 36) | 25 (18, 32) |
| GGT (U/L) | 50 (25, 101) | 80 (35, 150) | 61 (38, 75) |
| Triglycerides (mg/dL) | 178 (114, 236) | 94 * (83, 146) | 111 ‡ (70, 148) |
Significant p values after adjustment for multiple comparisons: * = 0.015 Intralipid vs. ClinOleic; ‡ = 0.035 SMOFLipid vs. Intralipid. Reference values: total bilirubin: 0.2–1.3 mg/dL; ALT: 14–59 U/L; AST: 14–36 U/L; GGT:12–43 U/L; triglycerides < 150 mg/dL.
