The dietary treatment of cirrhosis is as follows: 1. Reasonable application of protein The liver is the site of protein synthesis, with 11 to 14 grams of albumin synthesized by the liver every day. When cirrhosis is present, the liver cannot synthesize protein well. At this time, it is necessary to arrange the protein intake reasonably to prevent the occurrence of hepatic encephalopathy. Protein foods from a variety of sources can be chosen. In order to make the patient better adapted, you can eat a diet based on casein, mix cheese into the right amount of chicken, fish, lean meat and eggs, and have a little bit every day to balance the protein diet. 2, provide the right amount of fat Some patients suffering from cirrhosis, afraid to eat fat, in fact, fat should not be restricted too strictly. Nearly half of the cirrhotic patients have steatorrhea and malabsorption of fat due to pancreatic insufficiency, reduced bile salt secretion, lymphatic vessels or hepatic portal congestion. When the above symptoms appear, the amount of fat should be controlled. However, if the patient does not have the above symptoms when and can adapt to the fat in food, fat is not easily restricted too tightly in order to increase calories. In case of biliary cirrhosis, adopt low-fat and low-cholesterol diet. 3.Supply sufficient carbohydrates Sufficient carbohydrates can make the body sufficient storage of liver glycogen to prevent toxins from damaging liver cells. 350 grams to 450 grams of starchy food can be eaten daily. 4. Restrict dietary water and sodium When patients with edema or mild ascites should be given a low-salt diet, the daily intake of salt should not exceed 3 grams; in case of severe edema, a salt-free diet is appropriate, and sodium should be limited to about 500 mg. For example, do not use alkali when steaming steamed buns, but use fresh yeast to make the noodles instead, or eat salt-free bread. Hanging noodles contain more sodium and should not be eaten. Secondly, a variety of pickles and sauces sodium content is also very much, patients with cirrhosis should be absolutely limited. Meanwhile, MSG in condiments is dominated by monosodium glutamate, which will increase the burden on the liver’s metabolism of water and sodium. Now, the market is convenient for all kinds of customers, but also supply a variety of low-sodium salt, low-sodium soy sauce and salt-free soy sauce. When cooking dishes, pay special attention to the cooking method, otherwise it will aggravate the sodium intake, for example, some people are used to soak fish and meat with salt or soy sauce first, and then wash off the saltiness of the surface with water, although it is not salty to eat, but too much sodium ion is far too much. When making various dishes, do not put salt or soy sauce first, and put salt or soy sauce last when frying the dish, or put vinegar, soy sauce and salt to eat after frying. This has both taste and limits the intake of sodium and salt. Other foods with high sodium content, such as seafood, ham, puffed eggs and meat pine, should also be strictly controlled. Daily water intake should be limited to 1000 ml to 1500 ml. 5, eat more food rich in zinc and magnesium Patients with cirrhosis generally have low blood zinc levels, increased urinary zinc excretion, the amount of zinc in liver cells is also reduced, when drinking alcohol, the amount of blood zinc will continue to decrease, alcohol should be strictly prohibited, appropriate consumption of lean pork, beef, eggs, fish and other foods that contain more zinc. In order to prevent the lack of magnesium ions, such as more green leafy vegetables, peas, dairy products and cereals and other foods. 6, supplement vitamin C vitamin C is directly involved in liver metabolism, promote liver glycogen formation. Increase the concentration of vitamin C in the body can protect the resistance of liver cells and promote liver cell regeneration. The concentration of vitamin C in ascites is equal to the content in blood, so a large amount of vitamin C should be supplemented in ascites. eat fruit should be peeled or squeezed into juice to drink. 7, diet should be light, soft, easy to digest, no stimulation, a small number of meals, cirrhosis patients often have a loss of appetite, should be given easy to digest and absorb food, a small number of meals, to eat soft and non-stimulating food, fine work, avoid hard and rough food, such as fried food, hard fruit food. When combined with esophageal varices, we should pay more attention to forbid the consumption of fried foods and hard and dried fruits, because these foods can puncture the esophageal veins and cause upper gastrointestinal bleeding, which can be life-threatening. Patients with cirrhosis should not lose their precious lives to satisfy the pain and psychological needs of the momentary taste.
