Nutritional Guidelines for Chronic Liver Disease and Its Complications

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue, “Nutritional Guidelines for Chronic Liver Disease and Its Complications”, seeks original research and review articles pertaining to this topic. Unhealthy diets are a key factor in the development of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). Appropriate nutritional therapy is essential to prevent the progression of liver cirrhosis and sarcopenia and the development of hepatocellular carcinoma or liver-related mortality. While nutritional therapy shows promise in managing liver disease, strong evidence substantiating this is still lacking.

This Special Issue aims to explore current evidence surrounding nutritional guidelines for liver disease and identify areas requiring further investigation. We particularly encourage the submission of manuscripts that cover meta-analyses of dietary patterns and their impact on dietary components. We hope that this collection of papers will promote the establishment of effective global standards for nutritional care in liver disease.

Prof. Dr. Naoki Tanaka
