What should be paid attention to in diet for chronic hepatitis?

Patient's question:

These past few days, my appetite has been getting worse day by day. I don't like eating things I used to enjoy, and I often feel extremely weak all over. Moreover, I have a bloated and painful abdomen. At its worst, I experience nausea and dry heaving after dinner, and my urine is yellow in color.

Doctor's answer:

Eat more vegetables and fruits to digest sufficient vitamins and fiber, which also helps improve absorption function. When liver function declines, it often affects fat metabolism, so some chronic hepatitis patients may develop post-hepatitis fatty liver. Therefore, the diet should be low in fat, low in sugar (excessive sugar in the body is easily converted into fat), and high in protein. Faced with the impact of chronic hepatitis, we should actively implement regular check-ups and treatment, without avoiding medical visits. If chronic hepatitis is not cured after long-term treatment, it is necessary to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
