Summary

This study is a randomized pilot seeking to address low patient adherence to a low sodium diet as a strategy to improve outcomes of patients with cirrhosis of the liver. In coordination with the Metropolitan Area Neighborhood Nutrition Alliance (MANNA) of Philadelphia, patients in the intervention cohort will receive low sodium MANNA meals to encourage improved dietary compliance. Outcomes of these interventional patients will be compared to those receiving standard of care--namely, educational intervention by physicians supplemented by occasional counseling from dieticians during clinic visits encouraging a low sodium diet. Dietary compliance will be evaluated by urine sodium and salt affinity tests and used as a positive marker for improved outcomes. The target population of this study is patients diagnosed with cirrhosis of the liver, aged 18-85 years living within the MANNA-serviced area.
