ABSTRACT
1. Biliary atresia (BA), as a common disease in Japan, and cystic fibrosis (CF), as an extremely uncommon disease in Japan, were selected to assess the clinical significance of measurement of energy expenditure (EE). 2. Energy expenditure was significantly higher in children with BA than in normal children. 3. Measurement of EE in BA lead to clues to resolving its mechanism by novel assessment of interleukin-6 and leptin. 4. Energy expenditure in children with CF is also higher, but this has been addressed by nutritional intervention with additional calories. 5. Individualization of EE measurement is necessary in the analysis of pathological mechanisms and nutritional management of patients with both common and uncommon diseases.
