Abstract

Abstract: Patients with chronic liver disease have a very high lifetime risk of malnourishment. It has been increasingly identified in literature that the severity of liver disease affects severity of malnutrition and vice versa. The objective of this review article is to recognize the severity of complications associated with malnutrition in patients with cirrhosis and ways to overcome these obstacles.
