Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility of a home meal delivery program for patients with cirrhosis and ascites and to determine the effectiveness of a salt-restricted (2 gram sodium) meal delivery program in reducing the need for therapeutic paracenteses and/or all-cause re-admissions for these patients. Many patients with cirrhosis don't have enough nutrients in the body and are frail and these meals may help them maintain a good diet and lead to improved quality of life.
