Abstract
Hepatic cirrhosis is the end stage in chronic liver diseases and this condition cause the patient's death because of hepatic failure. A prognosis of patients with hepatic cirrhosis depend on the liver function, especially the function of mass of residual hepatocytes and this function expressed by level of serum albumin, cholinesterase (Ch E) or ICGR-15. This function is improved a management of nutrition because hepatocytes are regenerate by intake of protein. In compensated hepatic cirrhosis, hepatocytes are regenerate by dietary intake of 100-120 g/day of protein and the function of mass of residual hepatocytes is increased. The prognosis of these patients with compensated hepatic cirrhosis are improved by this management of nutrition.
