Overview
The hallmark of hepatic encephalopathy is accumulation of ammonia and toxic substances in the blood that are normally detoxified in the liver. A positive history of cirrhosis and acute viral hepatitis is suggestive of hepatic encephalopathy. The most common symptoms of hepatic encephalopathy include cognitive impairment, personality changes, and even coma. [1]
History and Symptoms
Hepatic encephalopathy or portosystemic encephalopathy is a syndrome of largely reversible impairment of brain function occurring in patients with acute or chronic liver failure or when the liver is bypassed by portosystemic shunts.[2]Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a common problem in liver cirrhosis and is associated with typical changes of cerebral metabolite pattern observed by proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS).[3][4]
A positive history of alcohol use and viral hepatitis is suggestive of HE. The most common symptoms of hepatic encephalopathy include:
