Abstract
Background: Children and infants with chronic liver disease are at high risk for developing malnutrition. Although there are now several available methods to assess malnutrition, a standardized simple and accurate method for evaluating malnutrition in liver disease remains a challenge. Aim of work: To assess the nutritional status of hospitalized infants and children with liver disease and study its relation to the prognosis of these patients. Conclusion: Infants and children with chronic liver diseases had a significant degree of malnutrition. Although we could not found a strong relation between the anthropometric measurements and prognosis of our patients, anthropometric measurements were useful in evaluation of the nutritional status of these patients.
