  2. Provide interventions to achieve optimal nutritional status and maintain metabolic stability
  3. Provide nutrient supplementation or other treatment modalities to improve outcomes 
  4. Utilize monitoring to inform adjustment to the nutrition prescription and care plan
  5. Reduce risk of secondary complications
  6. Support women who may be considering pregnancy.
  7. Support individuals with PROP for whom liver transplantation is a treatment option
  8. Provide appropriate care to individuals undergoing liver transplantation
