This webinar will feature a state of the art update on the role of dietary therapies and over-arching nutrition principles in the management of Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and cirrhosis. The unique challenges of Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) cirrhosis that include the presence of sarcopenic obesity, and its' impact on clinical outcomes will be detailed, and integrated into a broader discussion on the nutrition management in cirrhosis.
Learning outcomes:
1. Discuss an evidence based approach to the dietary management of NAFLD.
2. Discuss the emerging role of the microbiome in the context of NAFLD pathophysiology and, to understand mechanisms through which nutrition therapies may be beneficial.
3. Discuss unique nutrition concerns in the setting of NASH cirrhosis.
4. Discuss an approach to nutrition assessment and management in cirrhosis.
