The rationales for this new approach to the treatment of portal hypertension are its relative safety, even in Child C patients, and the disabilities such as rebleeding or aggravation of hepatic encephalopathy of other...

...Kevin D. Mullen; Kristine Kaminsky-Russ Attempting to forecast future trends in research is difficult enough in any area but is well nigh impossible with the volatile field of hepatic encephalopathy (HE). Undaunted in this review it is suggested that more frequent use of intact animal models of HE...

...Peter Ferenci The treatment of hepatic encephalopathy is predominantly an empirical approach because the process pathogenesis of this syndrome is uncertain. Many treatment trials have been published, but few fullfil the usually accepted criteria for optimum study design. Lack of placebo controls...

...Fredrick L. Weber, Jr. Lactulose is the most frequently utilized agent in the treatment of hepatic encephalopathy because of its efficacy and the fact that it has few serious side effects. How this nonabsorbable disaccharide works has been a matter of controversy, but evidence suggests...

...Martin Rössle; Jens Piotraschke Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a frequent complication of portosystemic shunts with an incidence of about 25%. In side-to-side shunts, such as the transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS), there is relation between the incidence of postshunt HE...
