Title

A STUDY ON SYMPTOMS AND NUTRITIONAL KNOWLEDGE AMONG PATIENTS WITH LIVER CIRRHOSIS IN SHILLONG, MEGHALAYA

Abstract

Liver cirrhosis is the end effect of several mechanisms of liver inflammation caused by chronic liver disease, genetic disease, or autoimmune inflammation. The main objective of the study was to firstly find out the signs and symptoms prevailing in patients with liver cirrhosis, secondly to assess the nutritional knowledge, and lastly to gain information on the dietary patterns. The study was undertaken on patients with cirrhosis in four distinct hospitals of shillong i.e. civil hospital, woodland hospital, nazareth hospital and bethany hospital. The data were collected randomly and purposively with the help of a pre-tested questionnaire covering the demographic profile, health related questions, nutritional status and the food frequency questions. All the data collected via different parameters were statistically analyzed and results obtained were tabulated. Mean and percentage were calculated by using Microsoft Office Excel 2010. From the study it was found that about 40% of the patients were underweight and about 82% experiences loss of appetite, 40% first diagnosed liver disease one month before. From the data presented in the current study it was found that most of the patients had an average level of knowledge, poor health conditions and underweight due low levels of lean body mass. Hence management of cirrhosis at an early stage is important by incorporating a balance diet, physical activity, and proper medications.
