High protein diet and liver

Common Questions and Answers about High protein diet and liver

protein

Avatar f tn Many people with chronic liver disease are malnourished and require adequate protein to maintain a stable body weight. A diet with adequate protein and energy is therefore recommended. I have decompensated cirrhosis and HE and know many people who are very ill and waiting for a liver transplant. When you very ill and have end-stage liver disease patients have difficulty eating and suffer from muscle wasting because they don't get enough protein.
Avatar m tn Hi, unlikely that taking high protein diet will increase the liver enzymes levels. The enzymes are stored inside the hepatocytes and when these cells are damaged they spill over into the bloodstream raising their levels. Regards.
Avatar f tn That is why a diet high in fat is likely to result in more weight gain than a diet high in calories from protein or carbohydrates. It is important for people with liver disease to minimize their fat intake by avoiding foods that are high in fat content. Excess fat can result in a fatty liver or nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Not only can a fatty liver cause liver disease, it may contribute to the worsening of other liver diseases.
Avatar f tn Not a drinker or smoker. Does anyone have a diet guideline for someone with end stage liver disease and Hep C?
Avatar f tn Not consuming alcohol or unprescribed drugs, not smoking, eating nutritious fruits and veggies, reducing fats and animal protein, and regular exercise have all been shown to do wonders. The liver can repair some damage already done if we help it along. Some organs have little if any ability to do this. Knowing this about your liver can help motivate making the hard changes to diet, etc. Do things your doctor advises in small steps if you need to so you don't feel overwhelmed.
Avatar n tn I am also afraid of the Hight Protein, High Amino Acids Whey Powders so I was wondering if there is a diet or medicine or something I can ask my doctor for. He doesnt seem to be very attentive to my weight problem. In fact,he always advocates being thin so as to not to tax my liver, but I am now beyond thin... I don't know if I will be able to survive an illness being THIS thin.
Avatar m tn Don't have an educated answer, but my experience and reading would strongly suggest when a dog has a diet change and develops digestive problems, go back to the diet that didn't produce the problems. I also read that dogs should have any change in diet be gradual. In the case of our Westie, he loves change, but I still transition him over a week if I want to introduce a new food type (here I'm talking content, not a complete change from cooked to raw).
Avatar m tn Avoid smoking and alcohol. Avoid drugs like paracetamol and sedatives. Get vaccinated for hepatitis A. Take a good protein diet. And follow up with your doctor to monitor the enzyme levels. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
Avatar f tn Essentiale helps in normalizing lipid and protein metabolism. It improves detoxification of liver and restores the cellular structure of liver. It is useful in fatty degeneration of liver, hepatitis and non alcoholic fatty liver too. Silymarin is a flavonoid which helps reduce the effects of hepatoxins on the liver. It helps improve its resiliency. It contains many antioxidants which may be beneficial in many diseases.
Avatar m tn If you look on the hepatitis c trust website there are details about foods and your diet. I eat what I like but I try not to each too much beef and chips as is puts a strain on your liver, and your body is already fighting the virus. They also said if possible organic food is best or rinse your vegetables in vinegar. And never any alcohol. I am waiting to start treatment I am geno 3a also. I don't have any damage to my liver or if I do not very much.
Avatar m tn I am 28 male and i have done my liver functioning test yesterday and my SGOT is 127 U/L and SGPT is 60 U/L. I never consumed alcohol in my life and worksout 5 days a week with high protein diet. What could be the reason for high SGOT?
Avatar n tn I got a battery of tests and one should my liver function was elevated. It goes up and down depedning on who knows what but my dizziness has never gone away. It is more and/or less severe but never goes away. I have had an MRI, Liver ultra-sound and seen a neurologist and ENT specialist. No one can find anything wrong with me. I see liver specialist next month but wonder what you think of these symptoms.
Avatar m tn high fat damages the liver adequate-protein is ok but from vegetable or little white meat, no red meat, no diaries low-carbohydrate leads nowhere, it is processed and refined carbohydrates to increase blood glucose which makes damage, so the problems is refined cereals not not carbohydrates the answer is orgains-raw carbohydrates which still contain the fibers which block too fast glucose absorption, they must be bio because you have more poisons/pesticides on the surface of raw carbohydrates
1713150 tn?1314467342 the amount of protein in your diet should not effect the protein level in your blood that much, unless you are taking extra protein like Body Builders use protein supplements. I don't have MS, but I don't think this sounds like an MS thing either. Some illness causes the body to make too much of certain proteins that can then show up in the blood.
Avatar m tn your liver damage is mild but you need to keep f2 fibrosis, check my diet in the post "ftty liver" and copy from there.if you increase proteins for body building this might damage your liver more...
Avatar n tn I rarely drink enough fluids throughout the day, and the liver and kidneys filter our blood. So by improving my diet and liquid intake, I had a remarkable improvement. After the blood tests, he asked me what i had done, because he had never seen such dramatic improvements in liver enzyme levels. The levels were a bove average. I asked him if the parasite could have caused the problem and he said no. So, think about limiting alcohol and increasing your liquids and add milk thistle!
1683956 tn?1309304550 Hello everyone... I'm looking for help with my embarrassing problem. I'm suffering from really foul gas and what's worse, I work in a small office. When i'm seated if just comes out. I try to clench my anus to hold it in however it doesn't work and I can feel air bubbles come out as I am seated. I visited a Castro and was discovered to have fatty liver after seeing a increase in liver enzymes and a liver ultrasound to confirm.
