I need a linear regulator for a project, for current sense reasons I need to select a regulator that passes its quiescent current into the load.

Most regulators like this have a minimum load current of a few mA. I cant seem to find anything on what happens if this condition is not met though.

Is it simply a case of regulation quality will degrade? Can I assume that since it is a parameter not listed in the absolute maximums that the chip will not be damaged. 

We are currently looking at using the [LD1086](https://www.st.com/content/ccc/resource/technical/document/datasheet/53/db/00/58/09/98/4b/36/CD00001884.pdf/files/CD00001884.pdf/jcr:content/translations/en.CD00001884.pdf)

I.e. if I don't care about tight regulation in no load condition can I safely use the part.
