Well-illustrated throughout and with in-depth analyses, Nutrition,
Diet Therapy, and the Liver provides a holistic understanding of
the causative elements that precipitate liver disease and the
nutritional factors and regimens that reverse deteriorating hepatic
function. This up-to-date resource also incorporates emerging
fields of science and significant discoveries. With contributions
from leading experts of international repute in their respective
fields, the book first emphasizes the important role nutrition
plays not only in the prevention of liver disease but also in the
reversal of liver dysfunction. The second section covers various
aspects of alcoholic liver disease (ALD) and nonalcoholic fatty
liver disease (NAFLD) as well as the consequent steatohepatitis
that encompasses the whole spectrum of triglyceride accumulation,
inflammation, fibrosis, and end-stage cirrhosis of the liver. The
book then focuses on the mounting evidence in support of alcohol
abuse, hepatitis viruses, and immune diseases as key predisposing
factors in the incidence of hepatocellular carcinomas. The final
section evaluates the importance of nutrition in the treatment of
liver diseases in infants versus adults, including recovery after
liver transplantation.
