Abstract
SummaryNutritional support for chronically ill patients is still perceived by medical professionals as a specialist field of expertise even though adequate supplementation of micro- and macroelements has been widely accepted as one of key factors in successful treatment of chronic conditions like diabetes, renal, hepatic and intestinal disease as well as HIV/AIDS. In all these cases prophylaxis of malnutrition and wasting has been proven to be cost-effective and in the case of HIV it has added value to cART alone in improving survival and quality of life.
