Ilmu Gizi : Nutrition, Diet Therapy, and the Liver

---

The liver has a vital role in intermediary and whole-body metabolism. Thus, it is the major organ responsible for a whole spectrum of body functions ranging from glucose provision via the breakdown of glycogen and gluconeogenesis to the storage of vitamins; the secretion of bile; lipogenesis; lipid catabolism; the synthesis and secretion of a number of export proteins such as albumin, prothrombin, and various secretory proteins; amino acid deamination; the production of urea; the detoxification of toxins; and steroid hormone metabolism. As a consequence, any adverse effect on the liver will have devastating consequences not only on its functions but also on the functions of other tissues such as the brain and the heart. However, there are many different types of liver diseases, each with distinct etiologies and nutritional treatment regimens. Each of the facets mentioned above must be placed within the context of the particular disease under scrutiny. Nevertheless, some of the elements in a particular disease entity can be cross-transferable to some other types of liver diseases. The understanding of liver disease and nutrition requires a holistic understanding not only of the causative elements that precipitate the disease but also the nutritional factors and regimens that reverse the deteriorating hepatic function. By implication, holistic knowledge is also gained via a broad understanding of the nutritional elements in a wide range of liver diseases. Finding this knowledge in a single coherent volume of treatise would be very vital in the treatment of liver diseases. It is precisely in this context that Nutrition, Diet Therapy, and the Liver addresses these aspects in a comprehensive yet succinct way.
