Abstract
CR-budesonide can be used to treat PLE in certain patients, but careful assessment of hepatic function should be performed before initiation of therapy as systemic side effects can limit treatment. Normal serum liver function tests do not preclude hepatic dysfunction in the Fontan patient, and it is important to perform radiographic assessments as well.
