Cirrhosis is a chronic progressive diffuse liver disease caused by different etiologies, with progressive lesions, multiple complications in advanced stages and high mortality. In our country cirrhosis is a common disease of the digestive system and a disease with serious consequences. Early cirrhosis, also referred to as compensated cirrhosis, is usually asymptomatic at this stage, or with mild liver function abnormalities or splenomegaly, and has a good prognosis. Cirrhosis is a chronic wasting disease that is likely to be reversed after early etiological treatment and improvement of lifestyle. It has been confirmed that nutritional therapy has a role in reducing disability and mortality in cirrhotic patients, especially those with malnutrition. Therefore, diet should take into account the following aspects: 1, adequate calorie supply: according to the patient’s weight, appetite and condition, generally give about 2500kcal per day, mainly carbohydrates, the intake of malnutrition can be increased. 2, adequate protein intake: high protein diet can promote liver cell regeneration and recovery. It is appropriate to give about 100 per day, at least 1g/kg, to lean meat, fish, milk, soy milk, soy products, etc. are available. 3, moderate amount of fat: should be given a moderate amount of fat, not more than 30-50g per day. excessive restriction of fat can affect appetite, and affect the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. 4, moderate amount of sugar: sugar can be transformed into hepatic glycogen in the liver to promote liver cell regeneration and increase the resistance of liver cells to toxins. But should not take too much. Excess sugar can promote the production of endogenous triglycerides, causing fat infiltration in the liver, which is not conducive to liver repair. 5, rich in vitamins: vitamins have a nutritional effect on the liver, promote the synthesis and function of enzymes. It can be supplemented by eating vegetables and fruits, and can also take oral vitamin preparations. 6, other: abstain from alcohol, and those with swelling need to limit salt.
