Studies have shown that if a person suffering from a chronic illness succumbs to malnutrition, a significant deterioration of body functions ensues, which adversely affects recovery.

This is particularly true for those suffering from cirrhosis and other liver diseases, who have been found to have low levels of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) and albumin (protein) in their blood, leading to PEM.
