ABSTRACT

A descriptive and cross-sectional study of 60 patients with hepatic cirrhosis, attended in "Saturnino Lora Torres" Teaching Clinical Surgical Provincial Hospital in Santiago de Cuba was carried out from January, 2009 to December, 2011, aimed at evaluating them from the nutritional point of view. The male sex (53.3%), the age group 35-60 years (58.3%), the clinical course of less than 10 years (55.0%) and the alcohol as cause of the disorder (35.0%) prevailed in the series; likewise, 54.9% of those affected presented different degrees of malnutrition, which was more serious in those who acquired the disease due to alcoholic consumption. The most altered laboratory parameters were observed in the albumin, cholesterol and hemoglobin levels, as well as in the tests for cutaneous immunorreactivity, in that order. To concluded, the highest degrees of malnutrition were associated with the alcohol as cause of the hepatopathy and to its advanced stage.
