Core Tip This study serves as a critical catalyst for re-evaluating a decades-old dietary dogma. It suggests that in cirrhotic patients with moderate to severe hyponatremia, automatic sodium restriction may inadvertently accelerate the path to renal injury, sarcopenia, and death. A more tailored, physiology-guided dietary strategy that prioritizes renal perfusion and nutritional preservation is urgently needed. This underscores the need for more individualized dietary strategies, particularly in this vulnerable patient population.
