Guest guest Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 Her is a resume of nutritional recommendations, there is alot of papers on it just do a search on pubmed: Cirrhosis without encephalopathy: - Don't restrict protein (1-1.5g/kg/d) -Administration of complex carbs (non refined ones) - 30-35 Kcal/kg body weight/day - Frequent low volume meals (5-7/day),the night fast shouldn't be over 8h - Water restriction if there is hyponatremia - Sodium restriciton with ascitis or edemas - Polivitaminic supplementation, calcium, zinc, magnesium Cirrhosis with acute encephalopathy: - Transitory restriction of proteins (0.8g/kg/day)for the lowest amount of time possible - Use branched chain aminoacids (fresenius has oral supplements with those) - Reindroduce the normal protein ingestion as soon as possible - If nutritional support is needed use 35Kcal/day/kg at least - Water restriction if there is hyponatremia - Sodium restriciton with ascitis or edemas Cirrhosis with chronic encephalopathy: - Moderate protein restricion (0.8-1.0g/kg/day) - Oral supplement with branched chain aminoacids - Prefer vegetable proteins - Frequent low volume meals (5-7/day),the night fast shouldn't be over 8h - Water restriction if there is hyponatremia - Sodium restriciton with ascitis or edemas - Polivitaminic supplementation Ómega-3 might be useful since reduces inflammation and liver fibrosis but some authors discuss if it wouldn't increase the oxidative stress since polyunsaturated fats are easily oxidised. Personally I recommend them together with the ingestion of food high in AO content. Probiotic agents have been recommend by some authors as well and considering their modulation of the gut flora and their role in reducing gut bacteria that produce ammonia, also reduce fibrosis in NAFL I also recommend the use. On personal experience, and based in some studies done in the decades of 70-80s that never were done again (no idea why because they showed good results) ketoacids also work very well in patients with chronic and acute encephalopathy since they bind to the circulating ammonia. Used those in 2 patients that entered in comma each 2 weeks and they remained stable until the liver transplant. On the side note, but this should be for anyone, avoid food with high-fructose corn syrup added and simple sugars also avoid trans fats. Any other question feel free to post or mail me.

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Thanks Catia Appreciate the insight and your suggestions, which I have basically advised. I want to have him try coconut oil..(pure source is available to me)......though don't know if enough research to support it.

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 Type 2 or type 1 DM? How is his HgA1C? Why is he taking metformin together with insulin? With metformin there is a high chance of vitamin B12 deficiency since it impairs de production of intrinsic factor. There is no research on coconut oil in these type of patients, but empirically speaking it can have advantages. If he has a bad glucose control I would suggest you try chromium supplements. LLL courses of ESPEN have alot of info in the metabolic control of these patients, liver disease and also DM, I suggest you do them. It is free you just have to register online and they give formation credits.

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 He is morbid obese, though about 50 pounds lost in past 8 mo, so not positive if type 1 or 2, as many 2's will need insulin. Yep, he's already on B12. I don't recall if I know the A1C or not....awaiting the full liver workup. Thanks I will try to look at ESPEN/ASPEN  (its been a long while since I had a case list this....I see weight and eating disorders!). I would worry about the chromium supplement with cirrhosis, actually adding in any supplement with the liver not functioning that well. Wouldn't that need to be concern? Thanks again, for the continued insight.

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 I would go for lowest dose ( 500ug, then recommended is 1000 ug), diabetes increases the needs for chromium, and if he is morbidly obese his nutrient needs are increased , don't forget the adipocites are metabolic active and consume nutrients for their functions. The insulin resitance targes usually muscle cells not adipocites so w/o proper nourishment those get depleted but the adipocites don't.

I have a thin 12 yo boy who has documented fatty liver, Â elevated transaminases, high triglycerides, sees Liver MD specialist who continue to look for genetics etc as cause. Diet was not terribly high in carbs. Â Problem is that he is an athlete who plays over 2 hours most days in high level aerobic sports. Have eliminated junk carbs, hfcs, etc. but looking for other suggestions or resources. Suggestions? Â Thanks for any input you may have.
