Abstract
The role of laboratory tests in the assessment of nutritional status is reviewed. Methods commonly used in evaluating adequacy of energy, protein, mineral and vitamin intake are discussed, and a protocol for nutritional assessment and monitoring is presented. The specific nutritional problems found in liver disease, and the effects these have on this protocol are considered.
