A number of conditions are indicative of liver disease including (1) jaundice, (2) portal hypertension, (3) abnormal hepatorenal function, (4) altered drug metabolism, (5) nutritional and metabolic abnormalities, (6) disordered hemostasis, and (7) the release of enzymes into various body fluids.

This book contains only subject matter covered at MU, and the chapters are authored by the experts who presented the material. Therefore, it is not a comprehensive treatise on IMD but rather a textbook on the most frequently encountered challenges in IMD nutrition. The book contains introductory chapters on nutrition and metabolism principles common to many metabolic disorders and disease-specific chapters on disorders of amino acid, fat, and carbohydrate metabolism. Appendix M contains an overview of nutrition management of IMD including those disorders for which there is not a specific chapter. 

In relating nutrition and infection, two areas of Importance must be considered (1) public health, i.e., the prevention and treatment of human disease and metabolic disorders and (2) livestock and poultry production. The production of meat, fibre, and animal materials continues to be a more intensive operation in the agricultural system of this country and the world. The number of high density systems or confinement operations will continue to increase. With the expansion of these operations, new and more severe problems of disease control have appeared. The nutritionists that develop diets for these confinement operations are responsible not only for providing the basic nutrient requirements, but are also called upon to optimize the health of the animals through diet to reduce the impact of infection and other stresses We hope the information presented here will be a step in that direction. 

The book is divided into five sections Energy metabolism. Lipid and amino acid metabolism, Metabohc integration and metabolic disorders. General nutrition and Clinical aspects of nutrition. Each section is covered through MCQs, EMQs, SAQs and clinical cases where you can apply your basic knowledge.

Reference Intakes (DRIs). In the past, the recommended dietary allowances (RDAs), which are the levels of intake of essential nutrients that are considered to be adequate to meet the known nutritional needs of practically all healthy persons, were the primary reference value for vitamins and other nutrients. The DRIs also include other reference values, such as the estimated average requirement (EAR) and the adequate intake (AI). The RDA, EAR, and AI reference standards define nutritional intake adequacy. Since these recommendations are given for healthy populations in general and not for individuals, special problems, such as premature birth, inherited metabolic disorders, infections, chronic disease, and use of medications, are not covered by the requirements. Separate RDAs have been developed for pregnant and lactating women. Vitamin supplementation may be required by patients with special conditions and for those who do not consume an appropriate diet. 

Cancer patients often develop symptoms from organs remote from the primary tumor. The symptoms are usually caused by metastasis or toxic effects of therapy and less often by such secondary factors as nutritional deficiency, metabolic disturbances, opportunistic infections, and effects of critical illness. Other systemic diseases such as diabetes or amyloid may become manifest or aggravated during the course of the cancer disease and cause symptoms from remote organs. Paraneoplastic neurological syndromes (PNS) are a rare cause of remote symptoms [1]. The PNS affect less than 1% of all cancer patients [2], Even in small cell lung cancer (SCLC), the tumor type most commonly associated with PNS, these disorders occur in less than 5% of the patients [3, 4],... 

Elemental analysis of body tissues and fluids by atomic absorption spectrometry with electrothermal atomisation has advanced significantly the understanding of the role of trace elements in clinical biochemistry. All of those aspects of metabolic processes that are affected by changes in the concentrations of accessible trace elements have been studied. These include deficiencies of essential trace elements as a result of inherited or acquired metabolic disorders, or from nutritional inadequacy and excesses of trace elements producing toxicity states as a result of inherited metabolic disorders involving essential trace elements or from the inappropriate exposure to, or ingestion of, non-essential trace elements.

Secondary metabolic disorders and storage diseases are present in almost all liver diseases and occur with more or less pronounced intensity. They are, however, also caused by faulty nutrition as well as by many exogenous factors or noxae - just as latent metabolic disorders may generally become manifest due to such factors. 

Causes of fatty liver are manifold, and combinations of causes quite common. Acquired causes are by far the most frequent, but there are also rare causes, e.g. coeliac disease (9, 25), parenteral nutrition. (28, 29) Congenital metabolic disorders can also lead to the development of a fatty liver, as in the case of a rare thesaurismosis. It is of considerable therapeutic and prognostic importance to differentiate between an alcoholic fatty liver (AFL) and alcoholic steatohepatitis (ASH) (s. pp 529, 531) as well as between non-alcoholic fatty liver (NAFLD) and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).

Given the phytochemical complexity of figs, this fruit is a treasure trove for basic research. Currently, there are potential applications for figs and its extracts against cancer, microbial and viral infections, pain, skin diseases, sun exposure, cardiovascular and digestive disorders, metabolic syndrome, and nutritional deficiencies, to cite only a partial list. As many of these diseases could have a common origin from inflammatory mechanisms, recent research on the potential health properties of figs has focused on their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.
