Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nutrition exerts a profound influence on not just the etiology but also the pathogenesis of liver disease. Historically, it has been recognized that chronic illnesses can precipitate malnutrition, particularly cirrhosis. Conversely, malnutrition has been identified as a contributing factor to the progression of these hepatic conditions.
Recently, the prevalence of steatotic liver disease, commonly known as fatty liver, has risen steeply in parallel with the global surge in obesity rates. This has led to an expanded conceptualization of malnutrition to encompass over-nutrition, alongside the conventional issue of under-nutrition.
Both states of malnutrition, whether characterized by deficits or excesses in nutritional intake, exert multifaceted influences on the development and trajectory of chronic liver diseases. Our overarching goal is to provide an extensive forum for the dissemination of diverse viewpoints, empirical research findings, and international guidelines pertinent to the intricate interplay between nutrition and chronic liver diseases. This includes elucidating diagnostic and therapeutic methodologies.
We cordially invite scholarly contributions that adopt a holistic perspective, encompassing broader aspects such as overall health, physical activity, and lifestyle interventions. These contributions may offer insights into diagnostic and therapeutic modalities tailored to individuals afflicted by chronic liver diseases. Additionally, we welcome submissions that delve into optimal nutritional interventions and articles with a focal point on chronic liver disease.
Furthermore, we encourage submissions elucidating the interface between nutrition and sarcopenia, a recognized significant mediator in the realm of chronic liver diseases. Of particular interest are the latest research findings concerning the intricate interrelationships between genetic factors and nutrition, as well as innovative multi-omics-based methodologies for the diagnosis and management of nutritional status. The intricate interplay between genetic and environmental factors, in conjunction with nutritional status, occupies a pivotal role in the multifaceted pathogenesis of chronic liver diseases.
Given the intricate and multifaceted nature of the relationship between nutrition and chronic liver diseases, this dedicated Special Issue aims to provide an encompassing platform. Our objective is to elucidate the theoretical underpinnings, practical applications, and clinical relevance of weight management and nutritional strategies within the context of chronic liver diseases, thereby contributing to the advancement of scientific knowledge in this critical domain.
