Question 2

Describe appropriate nutrition intervention before and after a liver transplant.

Accepted Answer

A dvanced liver disease is usually associated with malnutrition, which can increase the risk of complications  following a liver transplant. Evaluating nutrition status in transplant candidates can be difficult, however, because liver dysfunction and malnutrition often have similar metabolic effects. If fluid retention is present, it can mask weight loss and alter anthropometric and laboratory values. Correcting malnutrition prior to transplant surgery can help speed recovery after the surgery. Protein and energy requirements are increased after transplantation due to the  stress of surgery. High-kcalorie, high-protein snacks and oral supplements can help the transplant patient meet postsurgical needs. Vitamin and mineral supplementation is also an integral part of nutrition care. To help transplant patients avoid developing foodborne illnesses, health practitioners should provide information about food  safety measures, such as cooking meats adequately, washing fresh produce, and avoiding foods that may be contaminated.
