Diet Chart For Hepatitis B
Hepatitis B is an infectious viral disease that affects the liver. Diet plays an
important role in maintaining liver health. In general, some obese patients
develop fatty liver which also aggravates their HBV infection. Hepatitis patients
may also suffer from fever, diarrhea, and joint pain. Some people with chronic
hepatitis may develop cirrhosis or scarring of the liver.
The lower the salt, the better this fluid accumulation is controlled.
Patients with hepatitis without ascites are advised not to over-indulge in salt
intake, although their restrictions need not be as severe.
