Zinc histidine hydrate was recently approved in Japan for the treatment of hypozincemia; however, clinical evidence regarding switching from zinc acetate hydrate remains limited. This study evaluated the short\u2010term efficacy and safety of switching to zinc histidine hydrate in patients with chronic liver disease.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This single\u2010center prospective single\u2010arm switching study enrolled patients receiving zinc acetate hydrate. Patients were switched to zinc histidine hydrate at an equivalent elemental zinc dose. Serum zinc, ammonia, and copper levels were evaluated at 4 and 12\u00a0weeks. Appetite was assessed at baseline and 4\u00a0weeks using the Council on Nutrition Appetite Questionnaire Japanese version (CNAQ\u2010J) and the Functional Assessment of Anorexia\/Cachexia Therapy\u2013Anorexia\/Cachexia Subscale (FAACT A\/CS).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Forty\u2010two patients were switched to zinc histidine hydrate, and 40 were included in the analysis.
