[Improving prognosis of chronic liver diseases with specific nutrition].
A sensible diet is capable of reducing the complications of chronic liver disease and improving the patient's prognosis. In patients with compensated liver disease, adequate nutrition should be ensured, but specific therapeutic measures are not generally required. Patients with decompensated liver disease often have deficient nutrition or malnutrition. In these patients specific dietary measures make good sense.
