[The potentials for the dietetic therapy of alcoholic liver lesions]

Most frequent and typical changes of the food status in patients with alcoholic diseases of the liver have been considered by the author. Typical concomitant gastroenterologic disorders in this category of patients have been described. The changes detected have required an adequate dietetic correction to eliminate the imbalance in nutrition and to stimulate the resources of the affected liver. The dietetic correction has proved to be sufficiently effective in most patients. The investigations conducted have shown the necessity of dietotherapy as an important component of the combined treatment of alcoholic affections of the liver.
