Overview
In patients with hepatic encephalopathy, symptoms may begin slowly and gradually worsen, or may begin suddenly and be very fast. the hallmark of hepatic encephalopathy is hyperammonemia. A positive history of hepatic failure is suggestive of hepatic encephalopathy. The most common symptoms of hepatic encephalopathy include inverted sleep-wake pattern(combination of restless nights and excessive daytime sleepiness), personality changes, altered level of consciousness, jerking movement of the limbs(asterixis), confusion and irritability.
History and Symptoms
