Abstract:
As the most important visceral organ in human body for metabolism, the liver is an important place for the synthesis and storage of nutrients. Patients with acute-on-chronic liver failure suffer from varying degrees of malnutrition due to abnormal metabolism of various nutrients, and malnutrition might accelerate the development and progression of liver diseases and lead to poor prognosis. Therefore, it is of great importance to perform early nutritional assessment and nutritional intervention. Although there are a variety of nutritional assessment methods, there are still defects in the nutritional assessment methods for patients with chronic liver diseases and liver cirrhosis, especially those with acute-on-chronic liver failure. This article elaborates on the nutritional assessment and clinical management of such patients, so as to provide a reference for related issues in clinical practice.
