Elevated serum levels of glial fibrillary acidic protein are associated with covert hepatic encephalopathy in patients with cirrhosis

JHEP Reports, 2023
Background & Aims: Blood biomarkers facilitating the diagnosis of covert hepatic encephalopathy (CHE) in patients with cirrhosis are lacking. Astrocyte swelling is a major component of hepatic encephalopathy.

The Psychometric Hepatic Encephalopathy Syndrome score does not correlate with blood ammonia, endotoxins or markers of inflammation in patients with cirrhosis [PDF]

Translational Gastroenterology and Hepatology, 2021
The pathogenesis of hepatic encephalopathy (HE) remains unclear but impaired clearance of gut-derived neurotoxins and increased systemic inflammation are thought to play key roles. The diagnosis is based on detection of neurophysiological and neuropsychometric abnormalities.

New Simple and Fast Digital Screening Method for Minimal Hepatic Encephalopathy in Cirrhotic Patients. [PDF]

United European Gastroenterol J
ABSTRACT Covert hepatic encephalopathy (CHE) is a subtle yet significant neurological complication of liver diseases, especially in patients with cirrhosis. Although it lacks overt clinical signs, CHE severely impacts quality of life, increases accident risks, and has serious prognostic implications.
