Abstract

Malnutrition is a common complication of liver disease and it adversely affects patient outcome. Aetiologic factors include hypermetabolism, malabsorption, altered nutrient metabolism and anorexia. Use of traditional nutritional assessment tools, such as anthropometry along with subjective global assessment scale and biometric measures, should be done to evaluate cirrhotic patients for malnutrition. Improvements in nutritional status can improve outcomes of patients with advanced liver disease.
