Recently, there have been more patients with cirrhosis hospitalized in the ward, and several cases were hospitalized because of gastrointestinal bleeding caused by improper diet at home. Patients are more nervous, and their families regret that something happened that should have been avoided because of poor care. Many family members repeatedly ask what to pay attention to regarding the diet of such patients. Here I will briefly discuss my views: The diet for patients with cirrhosis should be individualized, as it is often called. For patients with compensated cirrhosis, i.e., relatively stable disease, no ascites, hepatic encephalopathy, gastrointestinal bleeding and other complications, a normal diet is sufficient, only to properly control the fatty foods, avoid spicy and stimulating foods, do not drink alcohol; but for patients with decompensated cirrhosis, some combined with bleeding, ascites, hypersplenism, and even hepatic encephalopathy and other complications, the diet must be strictly controlled For example, avoid eating foods with spines, bones, celery, leeks, bean sprouts and other coarse fiber, and not to eat hard or brittle dried fruits (melon seeds, walnuts, peanuts, etc.), but also pay attention to not eat rice cakes, lanterns and other soft but not easy to grind food. In order to ensure the nutrition of patients diet should promote diversification, that is, pay attention to the color, aroma and taste, but also pay attention to soft and tasty easy to digest, to ensure sufficient calories. For patients with cirrhosis, sufficient calories can reduce the consumption of protein in the body, reduce the burden on the liver and facilitate the synthesis of tissue protein. The daily food calories for patients with cirrhosis are calculated according to their body weight, about 35-40 kcal per kilogram of body weight per day, according to this standard, the supply of calories for patients hospitalized for gastrointestinal bleeding is generally not enough, and we often hear patients or their families say “XX told me that I can’t eat this and that”, and the longer the patients are hospitalized, the more obvious the weight loss is. The longer the patient is hospitalized, the more significant the weight loss is, and the reason for this is “hunger”. This is the case, for active bleeding patients need to fast temporarily, but as soon as the bleeding stops we should resume the diet as soon as possible, initially liquid (rice juice, noodle lake, chicken soup, milk, lotus root powder, etc.), gradually transition to semi-liquid and soft food (thin rice, noodles, steamed buns, rolls, etc.), the diet should be rich in vitamins, carbohydrates, but also the right amount of protein, for those with low plasma albumin also need to intravenous For those who have low plasma albumin, they also need large amounts of intravenous supplementation of human blood albumin. A high protein diet is important for protecting liver cells and repairing damaged liver cells, but when liver function is severely impaired or when there are precursor symptoms of liver coma, the amount of protein eaten should be strictly limited to reduce the burden on the liver and reduce the concentration of ammonia in the blood. In addition, we should also pay attention to the intake of appropriate amount of minerals, recently it has been reported that the lack of zinc and magnesium ions in patients with cirrhosis has been noticed, so we should take appropriate amount of zinc and magnesium-rich diet in our daily diet, such as lean pork, beef, lamb, fish and green leafy vegetables, peas and dairy products, but we should pay attention to the amount of these foods should not be too much, but also pay attention to a reasonable mix of multiple balanced meals to provide The food should not be too much. Advocate for additional meals at night (can be yogurt or other easily digestible food). Patients with combined diabetes should pay attention to less sweet food; for patients with severe ascites, salt and water should be limited, and patients should pay attention to balanced drinking, not too much at a time, and the intake should be within 1000 ml throughout the day. In short, the diet of patients with liver cirrhosis, must be based on the specific circumstances of the patient, reasonable mix and match, both to ensure a comprehensive nutrition, but not to increase the burden on the liver due to excess.
