The Role of Vitamin Deficiency in Liver Disease: To Supplement or Not Supplement?
Over the past few years, growing interest has been shown for the impact of dietary requirements and nutritional factors on chronic diseases. As a result, nutritional programs have been reinforced by public health policies. The precise role of micronutrients in chronic liver disease is currently rece...
