Cirrhosis is defined as long-term or repeated damage to the liver from one or more causes, resulting in extensive liver parenchymal damage that can be complicated by splenomegaly, ascites, swelling, jaundice, esophageal varices, bleeding, and hepatic coma. For patients with liver cirrhosis should not only be actively treated, but also pay attention to diet. 1, the diet of liver disease patients “appropriate” 1, drop of alcohol as long as the liver disease, whether it is hepatitis, fatty liver, cirrhosis, liver cancer, the first thing you must stay away from is “alcohol”, because alcohol is mainly metabolized by the liver, and when the liver cells have been damaged, the ability to metabolize alcohol is extremely low, drinking is likely to cause liver function to deteriorate. 2. Eat less greasy, fried, pickled products, moldy food and food containing artificial coloring and artificial additives. Patients with cirrhosis are less able to digest fatty foods and fat-soluble vitamins because of their insufficient bile discharge, so it is better to eat less greasy, fried, fermented foods and pickled products such as sausages and bacon; at the same time, it is better to take the principle of small and frequent meals to reduce the load on the liver and gallbladder. 3, eat easily digestible protein food cirrhosis patients in the selection of food should establish the correct concept, can be less fat, but the intake of carbohydrate starch is indispensable, but not too much. Eat more easily digestible protein foods, such as deep-sea fish, low-fat milk, egg whites, tofu, etc. are good choices. 4, in addition, liver must eat more detoxification and bile vegetables such as cauliflower, collard greens, cabbage, peas, because they are the most abundant fiber content, can discharge toxins in the body; in addition, eat less eggs, milk, cheese, wheat and other foods that can easily cause allergies; must also control the intake of high-fat, high-sugar foods. Second, liver disease patients diet “taboo” 1, avoid eating too hard food due to cirrhosis of the liver when the portal hypertension caused by the lower esophagus and gastric fundus vessels thickened, thinning the wall. Rough food is not chewed slowly swallowed into the stomach, it may pierce or abrade the blood vessels and cause haemorrhage. Upper gastrointestinal bleeding is a common complication and one of the causes of death in patients with cirrhosis, so do not be careless. 2, avoid alcohol long-term alcohol consumption can lead to alcoholic gastritis and even alcoholic cirrhosis. Drinking alcohol can also cause epigastric discomfort, loss of appetite and protein and vitamin B deficiency. In addition, alcohol has a direct toxic effect on liver cells. 3, avoid eating spicy food cirrhosis, portal hypertension will cause the lower esophagus, gastric fundus and anal vein dilation, and cirrhosis is often complicated by gastric mucosal erosion and ulcer disease. Patients who eat chili peppers and other spicy food, will prompt the gastric mucosa congestion, peristalsis enhanced, thus inducing upper gastrointestinal bleeding, causing anal burning pain and increased stool, aggravating hemorrhoids, causing anal fissures. 4, avoid eating too much salt cirrhotic patients with liver destruction of anti-diuretic function is weakened, so the urine volume is reduced, so that salt retention in the body, coupled with the reduction of plasma protein and swelling or ascites. Therefore, patients with cirrhosis should strictly control the intake of salt. Those who have cirrhosis without ascites or slight liver ascites should not eat more than 5 grams of salt per day; those who have severe edema, the salt intake should not exceed 1 gram. 5, avoid eating too much protein cirrhosis patients eat more protein, not only can improve the plasma protein content, prevent or reduce the fat infiltration of the liver, but also can promote liver tissue recovery and regeneration. However, if the total amount of protein eaten at three meals a day exceeds the daily limit of 2 to 3.5 grams per kilogram of body weight, there will be side effects. Excess protein produces too much ammonia in the body, which the liver cannot convert into non-toxic substances for excretion, with the end result of liver coma. If a patient has already experienced hepatic coma or has precursors of hepatic coma, the protein intake should be more strictly limited and should not exceed 0.5 grams per kilogram of body weight per day. It can be seen, the cirrhosis of the liver patients, according to the condition of the appropriate adjustment of protein intake has a very important significance. 6, avoid eating too much sugar people know that hepatitis patients should be appropriate to give up some sugar. But cirrhotic patients are different, due to cirrhosis of the liver cells were severely damaged, the liver will be monosaccharide synthesis glycogen storage and part of the monosaccharide into fat function has been significantly reduced. At this time, if patients eat a lot of sugar for a long time, they will develop diabetes and liver diabetes, which will add difficulties to the treatment of cirrhosis.
