The liver is a very complex organ that performs several vital functions, many of which cannot yet be replaced by the most advanced therapeutic technologies. Liver health and nutrition are closely linked, and the relationship between dietary intake and liver disease has been studied in recent years. Despite its importance in the development and severity of many medical problems, not enough attention has been paid to nutrition. Nutrition plays an important role not only in the etiology but also in the pathogenesis of liver diseases. While an extreme nutritional state (malnutrition or obesity) can lead to liver dysfunction, a dysfunctional liver can lead to changes in the metabolism of macro- and micronutrients. Animal and human evidence support the harmful effects of consuming higher fat, high-carbohydrate diets, which can lead to liver dysfunction that affects overall health. Conversely, nutritional therapy plays an important role in the treatment of liver disease.
