Full Text

Abstract

Minimal hepatic encephalopathy (latent, subclinical hepatic encephalopathy) is a frequent syndrome in patients with liver cirrhosis of different etiologies. Despite the absence of clinical symptoms, its presence significantly reduces the quality of life of patients with chronic diffuse liver diseases. Methods for detection of minimal hepatic encephalopathy are presented. The pathogenesis and pathogenetic substantiation of treatment with lactulose and other drugs are discussed.
