Abstract
MATIA-MARTIN, Pilar et al. Malnutrition management of hospitalized patients with diabetes/hyperglycemia and liver cirrhosis. Nutr. Hosp. [online]. 2022, vol.39, n.spe4, pp.47-66. Epub Feb 06, 2023. ISSN 1699-5198. https://dx.doi.org/10.20960/nh.04511.
Liver cirrhosis is a progressive and chronic disease of the liver, of diverse etiology, which is frequently associated with glucose intolerance and in some cases concurs with type 2 diabetes (DM2). DM2 is associated with adverse outcomes in patients with cirrhosis, including a higher rate of hospitalizations, a higher prevalence of hepatocellular carcinoma, and an increased risk of mortality. Malnutrition is another frequent complication of cirrhosis, the prevalence of which increases with the degree of liver dysfunction, worsening the prognosis. This article describes the results of the expert consensus and the responses of the panelists on the nutritional management in routine clinical practice of patients with diabetes/hyperglycemia hospitalized (non-critically ill) with liver cirrhosis.
