Abstract

Prevalence of malnutrition is most common in patients with chronic liver diseases. Malnutrition is associated with frequent infections, inflammations, long duration of hospitalisation and cause deep negative impact on disease progression and outcomes. Early screening and identifying the levels of malnutrition may help in initiating timely and focused care to prevent further complications.
