Patient's question:
I have been hearing from my mom recently about my aunt being sick. It turns out that she was diagnosed with hepatitis a few months ago and has already started treatment. However, the problem is that the effect is not very good, and her condition has not improved. This makes us very worried.Doctor's answer:
Suggested dietary considerations:1. Appropriate calorie intake
2. Sufficient protein supply can maintain nitrogen balance, stabilize liver function, and aid in the repair and regeneration of liver cells.
3. Supply adequate carbohydrates: Carbohydrates should account for 50-70% of total calories. Sufficient carbohydrates not only ensure the total calorie supply for patients with chronic hepatitis but also enhance the body's ability to synthesize proteins, promote the liver's utilization of amino acids, increase liver glycogen reserves, and boost the liver's detoxification capacity.
It is recommended to moderately limit fat intake: Fat is one of the three major nutrients, and its unsaturated fatty acids are essential nutrients for the body that cannot be replaced by other foods, so it is unnecessary to overly restrict fat intake.
