Knowledge of this will help suppress nutrient deficiencies due to malabsorption. Parenteral and enteral nutrition for both pediatric intestinal failure and small bowel transplant are reviewed. Assessing anthropometrics and micronutrient status is necessary for growth status. Pharmacologic and surgical therapies are reviewed which can improve patient symptoms and quality of life.
