Protein-calorie malnutrition is common in end-stage liver disease, irrespective of cause, and adversely affects clinical outcomes. Early diagnosis is important to allow appropriate intervention to prevent malnutrition-associated complications. Correction of nutrient deficiencies through oral supplementation, enteral tube feeding, or parenteral feeding can improve clinical outcomes in this patient population. This article addresses the causes of malnutrition, methods used to assess nutritional status, and treatment strategies in end-stage liver disease.
