Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a syndrome of neuropsychiatric dysfunction caused by portosystemic venous shunting, with or without intrinsic liver disease. Patients with hepatic encephalopathy often present with the onset of mental status changes ranging from subtle psychologic abnormalities to profound coma.

Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a complex reversible syndrome that can progress to coma. Recently, behavioral and electrophysiologic ameliorations of HE have been reported to occur in animal models of fulminant hepatic failure (FHF) and, in uncontrolled studies, in a majority of patients with FHF or cirrhosis following the intravenous administration of ...

Neurologic Clinics, 2002
Many patients with cirrhosis of the liver who appear to be overtly normal, using standard bedside examination techniques, test in the impaired range on one or more neuropsychological tests. These impairments affect the quality of life. Improvement in affected cognitive domains and the quality of life may follow the institution of treatment.

Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a neuropsychiatric syndrome which can develop in the course of chronic and acute liver disease. It is characterized by cognitive and motoric deficits of varying severity. HE is functional in nature, potentially reversible and is thought to reflect the clinical manifestation of a low-grade cerebral edema, which exacerbates

Neurology, 1993
The approach to the management of patients with HE is summarized in Table 3. Other diagnoses need to be excluded and, after a diagnosis of HE is made on clinical and possibly electroencephalographic grounds, a search made for precipitants. Sedatives and opiates should be avoided, and steps taken to avoid hypoglycaemia, fluid overload or electrolyte ...

Minimal hepatic encephalopathy
Indian Journal of Gastroenterology, 2009Minimal hepatic encephalopathy (MHE) is the mildest form of spectrum of hepatic encephalopathy (HE). Patients with MHE have no recognizable clinical symptoms of HE but have mild cognitive and psychomotor deficits. The prevalence of MHE is high in patients with cirrhosis of liver and varies between 30% and 84%; it is higher in patients with poor liver ...

Pharmacotherapy for Hepatic Encephalopathy
Drugs, 2010Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a challenging clinical complication of liver dysfunction with a wide spectrum of neuropsychiatric abnormalities that range from mild disturbances in cognitive function and consciousness to coma and death. The pathogenesis of HE in cirrhosis is complex and multifactorial, but a key role is thought to be played by ...

Minimal hepatic encephalopathy
Nature Clinical Practice Gastroenterology & Hepatology, 2007Minimal hepatic encephalopathy (MHE), formerly known as subclinical hepatic encephalopathy, is the mild cognitive impairment commonly seen in patients who have cirrhosis. Current understanding suggests that MHE forms part of the spectrum of hepatic encephalopathy, although this remains to be proven.

Hepatic encephalopathy and ascites
The Lancet, 1997The first abnormality leading to sodium and water retention in cirrhosis is the renal tubular defect that is related to deteriorating liver function and hyperaldosteronism. With progression of liver disease and portal hypertension, renal blood flow declines because of the hepatorenal reflex, and is then maintained by the vasoactive hormonal systems ...
