Dietary treatment of liver cirrhosis

        (1) rational application of protein. Liver is the site of protein synthesis, the liver synthesis of albumin from 11 to 14 grams per day. When cirrhosis of the liver, the liver can not be a good synthesis of protein. At this time, we need to take reasonable arrangements for protein intake, to prevent the occurrence of hepatic encephalopathy. Can choose from a variety of sources of protein food. In order to make the patient better adapt, can eat casein based diet, the cheese mixed with the right amount of chicken, fish, lean meat, eggs, every day a little to balance protein diet.

        (2) supply the right amount of fat. Some patients suffering from cirrhosis of the liver, the fear of eating fat, in fact, should not be too strict restrictions on fat. Because of liver cirrhosis patients with pancreatic insufficiency, bile secretion, lymphatic or liver congestion and other causes nearly half of the patients with cirrhosis appear steatorrhea, of fat malabsorption. When the above symptoms appear, should control the amount of fat. But if the patient does not have the above symptoms, and can adapt to the fat in the food, in order to increase the heat, fat is not easy to limit too strict. Low fat, low cholesterol diet for biliary cirrhosis.

        (3) ample supply of carbohydrates. Carbohydrates can make the body sufficient sufficient reserve to prevent toxin on liver glycogen, liver cell damage, every day can eat starchy foods 350 grams to 450 grams.

        (4) restriction of water and sodium in the diet. When there is edema or mild ascites patients should be given a low salt diet, daily intake of salt is not more than 3 grams; severe edema is appropriate to use a salt free diet, should be limited to about 500 mg of sodium. Fast sodium containing more food, such as steamed Steamed Buns do not use alkali, can use fresh yeast, or eat salt free bread. Sodium Hanging noodles should not eat more. Secondly, a variety of pickles pickles and sodium content is also very much, in patients with liver cirrhosis should be absolute limit. At the same time in condiment by sodium glutamate monosodium glutamate, will increase the burden on the liver on water and sodium metabolism. Now, the market for all types of customers, but also supply all kinds of low sodium, low sodium soy sauce and salt soy sauce. When cooking, should pay special attention to cooking methods, or aggravate the sodium intake, such as someone in fish, are accustomed to use salt or soy sauce for meat, and then water washed out the surface of the salty, although not taste salty, but too much sodium ions have been far too much. Do a variety of dishes, the first salt or soy sauce, when the dish is cooked until the final release of salt or soy sauce, or fried and then put vinegar, soy sauce, salt. This both taste, but also limit the intake of sodium salt. Other sodium containing high food, such as seafood, ham, egg, dried meat floss should also be strictly controlled. Daily intake should be limited to 1000 ml to 1500 ml.

        (5) eat more zinc, magnesium rich food. Common blood zinc levels of cirrhotic patients with low urinary zinc excretion increased, liver cells containing zinc content also decreased when drinking, blood zinc content will continue to decrease, should be forbidden to drink, appropriate to eat lean pork, beef, eggs, fish and other more zinc content of food. In order to prevent the lack of magnesium ions, such as more consumption of green leafy vegetables, peas, dairy products and cereals and other food.

        (6) vitamin C supplementation. Vitamin C directly involved in liver metabolism, promote liver glycogen formation. Increasing the concentration of vitamin C in the body can protect the liver cells and promote the regeneration of liver cells. The concentration of vitamin C in ascites is equal to that in blood, so it should be added a lot of vitamin C in ascites. When eating fruit should be skinned or pressed into juice drink.

        (7) the diet should be light, soft, easy to digest, no stimulation, small meals. In patients with liver cirrhosis often loss of appetite, should give easy digestion and absorption of food, Shaoliangduocan, eat soft food and non irritating food, to avoid hard work fine, coarse food, such as fried food, hard fruit food. When combined with esophageal varices, more attention should be paid to prohibit eating fried food and nuts and dried fruits, because this kind of food can be punctured with esophageal varices, causing massive hemorrhage of upper digestive tract, resulting in life-threatening. Patients with cirrhosis of the liver must not be satisfied with the taste of the time and psychological needs, and the loss of your life.
