According to the data of national medical service system, about 1.3 million people die of liver disease and liver cancer every year in Taiwan Province province, accounting for 8% of the total mortality, which is equivalent to 1 person dying of liver disease and liver cancer every 40 minutes, so liver disease is also called "national disease". Because when hepatitis breaks out, you often can't feel the pain, which leads to the inability to master liver cancer in the early stage. Patients with liver cancer often suffer from weight loss and malnutrition during treatment. What can they eat to supplement their nutrition at this time? Nutritionists suggest that patients with liver cancer can stew papaya and perch soup after hepatectomy and supplement high-quality protein to help the wound heal and recover.

Nutritionists suggest that patients undergoing hepatectomy can eat papaya and perch soup to supplement protein. Zheng Jinbao, director of the Nutrition Department of National Taiwan University Hospital, mentioned in the book "Illustrated Diagnosis, Treatment and Nursing of Liver Cancer" that patients with liver cancer may have poor appetite during the treatment, and the taste and smell of food may be different from usual, which will make their appetite worse. Loss of appetite will lead to a decline in physical strength and resistance.

Liver damage caused by hepatectomy combined with protein repair

Nutritionist Zheng Jinbao pointed out that patients with liver cancer should take enough protein every day if they don't have hepatic coma during treatment, because protein is the most important repair substance after liver injury. For patients after hepatectomy, the body needs extra nutrition and heat to help the wound heal and recover, and to fight infection. Therefore, the main principle is to take a balanced intake of high protein, high calorie, vitamins and various nutrients in the diet.

Dietary nursing principles of liver after resection of liver cancer;

1. protein can eat a small amount for many times to meet the demand and avoid concentrating on a certain meal.

2. Eat less fried and greasy food and choose lean meat, skinless chicken and fish.

3. Eat more dark fruits, vegetables and grains.

Eating foods rich in "zinc" can help the wound heal and avoid the loss of taste, such as oysters, seafood, eggs, nuts and whole grains.

5. Take vitamins C and K with hemostatic and hematopoietic effects, such as green vegetables, green peppers, animal livers, kiwis, oranges and lemons.
