© 2024. The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Dr. K C Chaudhuri Foundation..

In liver disease, there is derangement of appetite, digestion, absorption, assimilation, storage and metabolism of both macro and micronutrients. These derangements have an impact on mortality and morbidity associated with liver diseases. In infants, breast feeds should not be stopped unless there are compelling reasons such as underlying metabolic problem. Parenteral nutrition should be considered only if, oral or nasogastric feeding is not possible. The effect of malnutrition on liver disease and impact of liver failure on nutrition is vicious and nutritional intervention has to be done at the earliest to break that vicious cycle. This chapter gives an overview of nutritional management in acute and chronic liver diseases in children and also its impact on specific clinical scenarios including liver transplantation.
