Abstract
: The liver is an important metabolic and synthetic organ of the human body. When liver injury and function decline, abnormal metabolism of various nutrients and different degrees of malnutrition may occur, and many studies have confirmed that malnutrition can affect the therapeutic effect and prognosis of patients with chronic liver disease. We searched PubMed, the CNKI, and relevant meeting abstracts (2008 to April 2020) for randomized trials and some relevant reviews that assessed nutritional status and supportive treatment in patients with hepatitis B virus-related liver diseases. Searches were limited to human studies and English-language publications. The main keywords used for the search were nutrition, liver disease and hepatitis B. Citation lists of retrieved articles were manually screened to ensure sensitivity of the search strategy. The study suggests that malnutrition is common in patients with liver disease, since metabolism is diverse in different stages of HBV related liver disease, details of nutritional support are different. The occurrence of malnutrition is closely related to the occurrence, development and prognosis of liver disease. Malnutrition plays an important role in the development of liver disease. Appropriate nutritional intervention can improve the prognosis of HBV related liver disease.
