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:

History

Patients with hepatic encephalopathy may have a positive history of:[5][6]

  • Viral hepatitis
  • Chronic alcohol use
  • History of drug and toxin use

Common Symptoms

Common symptoms of hepatic encephalopathy include: [6]

  • Memory impairment
  • Personality changes
  • Coma
  • Jaundice
  • Abdominal pain
