Core Tip
Core Tip: Currently, there is a wealth of information on the ideal nutritional treatment for cirrhosis. Yet, a critical gap persists: The absence of a concise clinical document encompassing the entire nutritional care process. The significance of nutritional management is increasing, given its profound influence on both patient prognosis and quality of life. We here strongly emphasize the need to offer a practical foundation for managing nutrition in cirrhosis, grounded in scientific evidence.
