What is Cirrhosis of the Liver
Patients with liver cirrhosis need to make necessary changes in their diet to support the liver. Glycogen storage & release is hampered in cirrhosis, which can lead to malnutrition. So preventing malnutrition is extremely essential for patients suffering from this condition.
CIRRHOSIS OF LIVER DIET RECOMMENDATIONS
Diät für Leberzirrhose
Cirrhosis refers to a condition where damaged liver cells are replaced by scar tissue. Development of too many scar tissues leads to impaired liver functioning that affects the ability to store & release Glycogen (a substance which provides energy when required by the body). In cirrhosis, the body uses its own muscle tissues to provide energy. This leads to malnutrition, weakness & muscle wasting. Thus in cirrhosis, it is important to prevent malnutrition & limit additional liver damage.
