Aspectos fisiopatológicos da desnutrição no paciente portador de hepatopatia crônica
Keywords:
Hepatopathy, hypermetabolism, nutritional status, pathophysiologyAbstract
The nutritional alterations which result from hepatic diseases are frequent and of great
extension. The metabolism and protein synthesis are greatly affected in patients with
chronic hepatopathy; these patients present poor digestion and poor absorption of
nutrients, resulting from pancreatic-biliary deficiency or associated enteropathy, with
a seemingly increased energetic demand. The control of these alterations requires
constant screening on the part of hepatologists and clinicians. Therefore, the objective
of the present article is to review and discuss the various causes of proteic-caloric
malnutrition in chronic hepatopathy.
