9. Patient has renal failure and requires renal replacement therapy.
10. Patient has a severe hemorrhagic disorder.
11. Patient has severe hyperlipidemia or a severe disorder of lipid metabolism characterized by hypertriglyceridemia (i.e., serum triglyceride level \> 1,000 mg/dL).
12. Patient has a record of EFAD before inclusion in the study
13. Patient has been diagnosed with or is suspected to have an inborn error of metabolism.
14. Patient has a known hypersensitivity to fish or egg protein or to any of the active ingredients or excipients of Omegaven.
