HI, People with chronic liver disease probably have been instructed to maintain a balanced diet, making sure they have adequate calories, carbohydrates, fats and proteins to assist with the regeneration of liver cells. However, the quantity of protein suggested for affected individuals will vary greatly. For example, those with cirrhosis who are malnourished require a diet that is high in protein to aid in liver regeneration. But, some with cirrhosis will have protein intolerance ? where too much protein could elevate blood ammonia levels. They must restrict their protein intake. Consult your doctor for that.
