Abstract
The liver plays a central role in nutrient metabolism. Nutritional man agement of liver disease, therefore, must not only promote regeneratio n and healing, but also limit the impact of impaired hepatic nutrient metabolism on the host. This article is organized into a discussion of the role of the liver in nutrient handling and the effects of hepatic dysfunction on this metabolism, followed by dietary recommendations f or animals with liver disease.
