About 4.5 million U.S. adults have been diagnosed with some form of liver disease, and some will go on to need a liver transplant. What interventions are available to help avoid that procedure? And if someone does receive a transplant, how can their diet support their new liver and help keep it as healthy as possible? On this episode of On Nutrition, transplant clinical dietitian Heather Bamlet explains how she supports transplant patients and shares strategies to help prevent — and in some cases, even reverse — certain liver diseases.
