(1) Rational application of protein. The liver is the site of protein synthesis, and 1 1 ~ 14g albumin is synthesized from the liver every day. In cirrhosis, the liver can't synthesize protein well. At this time, it is necessary to arrange the intake of protein reasonably to prevent the occurrence of hepatic encephalopathy. You can choose protein food from many sources. In order to make patients better adapt, they can eat a diet based on casein, cheese with proper amount of chicken, fish, lean meat and eggs, and eat a little every day to balance the protein diet.

(2) supply the right amount of fat. Some patients are afraid to eat fat after suffering from liver cirrhosis. In fact, fat should not be restricted too strictly. Nearly half of patients with liver cirrhosis have fatty dysentery due to pancreatic insufficiency, decreased bile salt secretion, lymphatic congestion or hepatic portal congestion. When the above symptoms appear, the amount of fat should be controlled. However, if patients do not have the above symptoms, they can adapt to the fat in food. In order to increase calories, fat is not easily restricted too strictly. If it is biliary cirrhosis, take a low-fat and low-cholesterol diet.

(3) Supply sufficient carbohydrates. Adequate carbohydrates can make the body store glycogen fully and prevent toxins from damaging liver cells. You can eat 350 grams to 450 grams of starchy food every day.

(4) Limit water and sodium in the diet. Patients with edema or mild ascites should be given a low-salt diet, and the daily salt intake should not exceed 3 grams; Severe edema should be treated with salt-free diet, and sodium should be limited to about 500 mg. Fasting foods containing more sodium, such as steamed bread, do not use alkali, but use fresh yeast to make dough or eat salt-free bread. Dried noodles contain more sodium and are not suitable for eating. Secondly, the sodium content of various pickles and pickles is also very high, and patients with liver cirrhosis should be absolutely limited. At the same time, monosodium glutamate in condiments is mainly sodium glutamate, which will increase the burden of liver on water and sodium metabolism. Now the market is convenient for all kinds of customers, and it also supplies all kinds of low-sodium salt, low-sodium soy sauce and salt-free soy sauce. Pay special attention to cooking methods when cooking, otherwise it will increase sodium intake. For example, some people are used to soaking fish in salt or soy sauce first, and then washing off the salty taste on the surface with water. Although it is not salty, too much sodium ion is far beyond the standard. When cooking all kinds of dishes, don't put salt or soy sauce first, put salt or soy sauce last when frying, or put vinegar, soy sauce and salt after frying. This not only has a taste, but also limits the intake of sodium salt. Other foods with high sodium content, such as seafood, ham, preserved eggs and dried meat floss, should also be strictly controlled. Daily drinking water should be limited to 1000ml ~ 1500ml.

(5) Eat more foods rich in zinc and magnesium. Patients with liver cirrhosis generally have low blood zinc level, increased urine zinc excretion and decreased liver cell zinc content. When drinking, the blood zinc content will continue to decrease, so drinking should be strictly prohibited and foods with more zinc content such as lean pork, beef, eggs and fish should be eaten properly. In order to prevent magnesium ion deficiency, such as eating more green leafy vegetables, peas, dairy products and cereals.

(6) Vitamin C supplementation directly participates in liver metabolism and promotes the formation of liver glycogen. Increasing the concentration of vitamin C in the body can protect the resistance of hepatocytes and promote the regeneration of hepatocytes. The concentration of vitamin C in ascites is equal to that in blood, so a large amount of vitamin C should be supplemented in ascites. When eating fruit, peel it or squeeze it into juice to drink.

(7) Diet should be light, soft, easy to digest, non-irritating, less frequent. Patients with liver cirrhosis often suffer from loss of appetite, so they should be given food that is easy to digest and absorb, a small number of meals, soft food and non-irritating food, and work and rest carefully to avoid hard and rough food, such as fried food and hard fruit food. When esophageal varices are combined, we should pay more attention to the prohibition of eating fried foods, hard fruits and dried fruits, because these foods will puncture esophageal veins, cause massive bleeding in the upper digestive tract and endanger life. Patients with liver cirrhosis must not meet the temporary taste pleasure and psychological needs and lose their precious lives.
