Abstract in brief

  • Nocturnal nutritional supplementation significantly increases total body protein in patients with liver cirrhosis over a 12-month period, particularly when provided at night, suggesting it helps prevent muscle loss and improve nutritional status.
  • The study shows that patients who received nighttime feeding experienced substantial gains in body protein, whereas those who ate during the day did not, despite both groups increasing their overall calorie and protein intake.
  • This research highlights the potential clinical benefits of providing late-evening nutrition to cirrhosis patients to support muscle preservation and potentially improve disease outcomes.]

@RuchitShahDO @AASLDtweets Agreed. One good example of a dietary intervention with RCT-level evidence is provision of a late-night snack published in @HEP_Journal https://t.co/8pe4H7ZvXu
