Abstract

Malnutrition is commonly seen in children with chronic liver diseases, and there are interactions between them. Chronic liver diseases can cause malnutrition and this can affect the prognosis of children with chronic liver diseases. Due to the complexity of nutritional assessment in children with chronic liver diseases, there are still no unified standards for the diagnosis of malnutrition. Early identification of malnutrition and related intervention helps to improve the prognosis of children with chronic liver diseases. This article reviews the features of nutrition in children with chronic liver diseases and related nutritional assessment methods.

营养不良普遍存在于慢性肝病患儿中,且二者相互影响。慢性肝病可以造成营养不良,而营养不良可以影响慢性肝病患儿的预后。由于慢性肝病营养状况评价的复杂性,目前对于慢性肝病患儿营养不良的诊断尚缺乏统一的标准,尽早发现肝病患者的营养不良并对其进行干预,将有助于改善慢性肝病患儿的预后。该文综述儿童慢性肝病的营养特点及慢性肝病患儿营养状况的评估方法。
