Summary
This study is testing whether a special high-energy liquid diet can improve the nutritional status of children under 5 who have chronic cholestasis (a liver problem that blocks bile flow) and severe malnutrition. Fifteen children will drink the liquid formula plus extra vitamins for 14 days. Researchers will measure blood markers of nutrition (prealbumin and IGF-1) before and after the diet to see if it helps.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
high-energy liquid formula with micronutrients (vitamins A, D, E, K, B1, folic acid, zinc)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple dietary approach to improve growth and health in young children with liver problems.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early study with only 15 children and no comparison group, so results may not be reliable or apply to others. The diet is given for just 14 days, which is too short to see long-term benefits.
