What should diet pay attention to after liver transplantation

summary

Liver transplantation is a kind of surgical method to implant a healthy liver into the body of patients for treatment. Liver transplantation has a good effect on patients with liver failure and other diseases. Let's talk about the diet after liver transplantation.

What should diet pay attention to after liver transplantation

First: in general, after the recovery of gastrointestinal function after liver transplantation, we can gradually return to normal diet, starting with digestible egg soup, and gradually transiting to normal diet. The principle of diet should be low sugar, low fat, high vitamin and appropriate high quality protein (animal protein).

Second: sodium salt: low salt diet is required in the early stage and recovery period after operation. The daily salt is about 3-4g. If there is no hypertension, edema, and oliguria, the daily salt can be increased appropriately, not more than 6-8g (calculation method: ordinary toothpaste cover can hold about 6G of salt).

Third: the supply of protein: immunosuppressants can accelerate the decomposition of protein, inhibit the synthesis, so as to increase the consumption of protein. It is appropriate to increase the supply of high-quality protein. For the supply of protein after liver transplantation, high-quality egg should be used. After liver transplantation, due to the long-term use of immunosuppressants, the metabolism of the body is affected to varying degrees, including sugar, protein and lipid（ Such as cholesterol, uric acid, etc.

matters needing attention

After transplantation, patients need to pay attention to their diet, and other postoperative nursing is also very important. Only by paying more attention to all aspects, can they recover better. And because the source of liver is very limited, it is very rare to get a healthy liver.
