In the treatment of diseases of the gastrointestinal organstract great importance is given to diet. Its importance is great in the treatment of liver diseases, since no medicine can be more effective than a properly chosen diet for the liver. Among the diseases of this organ most common are chronic hepatitis, less often - cirrhosis. In these diseases, there is damage to the liver tissue, as a result of which it cannot adequately perform its functions - to synthesize protein, participate in fat metabolism, and neutralize various toxins entering the body. The compensatory abilities of the liver are great, but when they are exhausted, progressive liver failure develops, which ends with the development of hepatic coma.
