Essential trace elements play pivotal roles in the maintenance of health as they act as constituent components of several metalloproteins and metalloenzymes. A deficiency or excess of such trace elements can cause abnormalities such as liver dysfunction, hepatic fibrosis, cholestasis, etc. With recent advances in molecular biological technologies, these trace elements serve to predict the prognosis in patients with chronic liver diseases (CLDs). Several preclinical and clinical studies have already shown the therapeutic effects of trace element supplementation.
