“…These signs interfere with the intake of dietary intake which leads to malnutrition in these patients. A study conducted by Carvalho et al (2006) on 300 liver cirrhotic patients revealed that 55% of the studied respondents had insufficient food intake due to presence of discomforts like nausea, fatigue, vomiting and swelling [24]. Our results also related with the findings of Ahsan T [18] revealed that majority of the studied respondents were suffering from ascites, edema, nausea, vomiting and muscle wasting [18].…”

Liver cirrhotic patients were investigated for their lifestyle, body mass index, biochemical and clinical signs of disease. The study included 500 liver cirrhotic patients who were visited and hospitalized in SKIMS and SMHS hospital Srinagar. The data was collected by using the self made questionnaire which was pretested on 10 patients. These ten patients were excluded from the study. Demographic data, level of education, biochemical values, clinical signs, weight, height and mid arm circumference was undertaken. Out of the 500 cirrhotic patients, 60% were from rural area and 40% were from urban area, 73.8% were males and 26.2% were females. It was observed that illiterates, laborers, married ones with nuclear type of family system from low economic status were being suffering from the liver cirrhosis. The disease is more seen in the age group of 46-60 years. Low BMI and muscle wasting were present in almost all of the studied patients. Hyperbilirubinemia, low albumin and protein levels were observed in studied patients. Anemia, PEM, ascites, edema, muscle wasting were prevalent in vast majority of the patients.

“…Among patients with cirrhosis and portal hypertension, malnutrition is associated with significantly higher in-hospital mortality and hospital resource utilization (18) Earlier studies of patients with cirrhosis reported rates of malnutrition as high as 65-90% (19)(20)(21). This study shows the mean age of presentation as 44,20±SD 13,61 years, while earlier study (22) (22,28).…”

“…6,8,9 A large multicenter study has shown that the prevalence of malnutrition is considerably higher in patients with a more severe liver impairment (20-25% in Child A-B patients but > 50% in Child C). 6 The correlation between malnutrition and the origin of liver cirrhosis is controversial.…”

Chronic liver disease has a profound effect on nutritional status and undernourishment is almost universally present in patients with end-stage liver disease undergoing liver transplantation. In the last decades, due to epidemiological changes, a trend showing an increase in patients with end-stage liver disease and associated obesity has also been reported in developed countries. Nutrition abnormalities may influence the outcome after transplantation therefore, the importance to carefully assess the nutritional status in the work-up of patients candidates for liver transplantation is widely accepted. More attention has been given to malnourished patients as they represent the greater number. The subjective global nutritional assessment and anthropometric measurements are recognized in current guidelines to be adequate in identifying those patients at risk of malnutrition. Cirrhotic patients with a depletion in lean body mass and fat deposits have an increased surgical risk and malnutrition may impact on morbidity, mortality and costs in the post-transplantation setting. For this reason an adequate calorie and protein intake should always be ensured to malnourished cirrhotic patient either through the diet, or using oral nutritional supplements or by enteral or parenteral nutrition although studies supporting the efficacy of nutritional supplementation in improving the clinical outcomes after transplantation are still scarce. When liver function is restored, an amelioration in the nutritional status is expected. After liver transplantation in fact dietary intake rapidly normalizes and fat mass is progressively regained while the recovery of muscle mass can be slower. In some patients unregulated weight gain may lead to over-nutrition and may favor metabolic disorders (hypertension, hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia). This condition, defined as 'metabolic syndrome', may play a negative role on the overall survival of liver transplant patients. In this report we review data on nutrition and liver transplantation. © 2011 INASL
