During the last decade, metabolomics has become widely used in the field of human diseases. Numerous studies have demonstrated that this is a powerful technique for improving the understanding, diagnosis and management of various types of liver disease, such as acute and chronic liver diseases, and liver transplantation. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is one of the two most commonly applied methods for metabolomics. The aim of the present review was to investigate the results

The review includes existing procedures, which are currently used for NMR data acquisition and statistical analysis. In addition, notable results obtained by these studies on protein and carbohydrate metabolism concerning human liver diseases are presented.
