A balanced diet provides essential nutrients for energy, growth, and body repair, while also affecting gastrointestinal function and gut microbiota, which impacts overall health. Disease-related malnutrition (DRM) can occur due to nutrient deficiencies, affecting body composition, organ function, and increasing morbidity and mortality. This study aims to evaluate the validity of ultrasonography in identifying nutritional deficiencies in patients with gastrointestinal diseases, as well as to compare ultrasonography results with other nutritional status assessment methods to determine its accuracy. The study employs a qualitative method based on medical and nutritional frameworks. Clinical data and ultrasonography results were collected and analyzed qualitatively. Academic publications and medical literature were used as secondary materials to support the analysis. Abdominal and intestinal ultrasonography proved to be an effective non-invasive diagnostic tool in identifying patients with abdominal symptoms and nutritional disorders. Ultrasonography is also useful in assessing body composition and determining muscle mass. The study results indicate that the use of ultrasonography in evaluating nutritional status in patients with gastrointestinal diseases provides accurate and reliable results, facilitating regular monitoring of nutritional status.
