What diet should I recommend my patient with hepatic encephalopathy?
The burden of malnutrition is high in patients with cirrhosis, especially in those with hepatic encephalopathy (HE). This has a bearing on increased morbidity and mortality. Heightened attention needs to be paid to screen the patients at high nutritional risk both in the outpatient and hospitalized settings. This review summarized the current evidence for nutritional support in HE patients and compared the recommendations about nutritional requirement as laid out by various organizations.
