In a randomized cross-over comparison, the effects of a mainly vegetable
protein diet were compared with an animal protein diet in eight patients withcirrhosis and chronic permanent encephalopathy, under optimum lactulose therapy. After a run-in period, patients were fed two equi-caloric,
equi-nitrogenous diets for 7 days (71 g total proteins), containing either 50
g protein of animal origin or 50 g vegetable proteins. In the last 3 days of
each period, nitrogen balance was significantly better during the vegetable
protein diet (+0.2 (SD 1.4) g vs. -1.7 (2.4); P<0.01), the difference being
entirely due to a reduced urinary nitrogen excretion. Average daytime
integrated blood glucose was slightly higher during vegetable proteins,
whereas insulin, plasma amino acids and ammonia were lower. The clinical
grading of encephalopathy improved slightly on vegetable proteins, and
psychometric tests improved significantly, but remained grossly abnormal.
Compliance to dietary manipulation was good. The data prove that a mainly
vegetable protein diet is worthwhile in cirrhotic patients with chronic
encephalopathy under optimum lactulose therapy. Improved nitrogen balance maybe related to more effective nitrogen use for protein synthesis, probably due to blunted hormonal response, and largely outweighs the effects onencephalopathy.
