Brief Summary
OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the role of magnesium deficiency in the pathogenesis of decreased serum vitamin D and reduced bone density in children with chronic cholestatic liver disease.
Detailed Description
PROTOCOL OUTLINE: Patients receive magnesium sulfate IV over 1 hour on day 3. Patients then receive oral magnesium gluconate supplementation daily. Treatment with magnesium sulfate repeats once at 3-6 months.
