Worobetz page 537 Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a complex, potentially reversible neuropsychiatric condition that occurs as a consequence of acute or chronic liver disease. It is characterized by changes of personality, consciousness, behavior and neuromuscular function ( Table 20 ). Early features include reversal of sleep pattern, apathy, hypersomnia, irritability and personal neglect. In later stages, delirium and coma may occur. Neurologic signs may include hyperreflexia, rigidity, myoclonus and asterixis. Asterixis is not specific to hepatic encephalopathy and may be present in other causes of metabolic encephalopathy. Seizures and lateralizing signs are uncommon and are more commonly seen in acute than chronic liver failure. Clinically, a number of encephalopathic patterns can be observed: acute, acute recurrent, chronic recurrent and chronic permanent encephalopathy (the last often forms part of the spectrum of acquired hepatocerebral degeneration).

Graber, MD, and William B. Silverman, MD Division of Gastroenterlogy and Hepatology and Departments of Internal Medicine, Family Medicine, and Emergency Medicine University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics and College of Medicine Peer Review Status: Externally Peer Reviewed by Mosby General Information . Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a reversible metabolic encephalopathy with global central nervous system depression that occurs as a result of hepatocellular failure. Associated with increased portosystemic shunting of nitrogenous compounds derived from the gut. Precipitated or exacerbated by GI hemorrhage, excess dietary protein, constipation, infection (SBP), hypokalemia, and systemic alkalosis. Ammonia is thought to play an important role in the pathogenesis of HE, but its plasma level correlates poorly with the severity of HE. Manifestation and evaluation Its clinical presentation ranges from subtle changes in behavior and sleep inversion to deep coma.

Printable Version Search Enter Keywords: A Review of Congenital Portosystemic Shunting and Hepatic Encephalopathy Heptic encephalopathy is a neurologic disorder which may develop in animals who have advanced liver disease and/or severe portosystemic shunting. Congenital porto-vascular anomalies, which allow portal blood to circumvent hepatic detoxification in affected dogs and cats, and chronic severe hepato-cellular disease with acquired intra- or extrahepatic portosystemic shunting (PSS) in dogs account for most of the cases of hepatic encephalopathy. Signalment and History Congenital PSS is more commonly seen in purebred (Yorkshire terriers and Miniature schnauzers) than in mix-breed dogs. Most animals are presented by 2 years of age, often by 6 months of age, and sporadically at any age. Owners' concerns are commonly related to neurologic, gastrointestinal, and/or urinary tract disorders. Furthermore, affected animals may have a history of stunted growth or failure to gain weight compared with unaffected littermates. Laboratory Evaluation Definitive diagnosis of a portosystemic shunt requires identification of the shunt by ultrasonography, contrast radiography, or exploratory laporatomy.

[vote for against Just when everyone was having fun talking about the booze buster pills, along came buzzkill IVnick8or with the gloom and doom of hepatic encephalopathy. Those folks are in a bad way. There is no good dialysis equivalent for livers, so if you have used yours up, you can't just hook on to the machine like the renal failure folks do. Even if you quit the booze, if your liver is shot you could still get hepatic encephalopathy from time to time. The only cure is a liver transplants, but folks seem to want to save the available livers for kids and those who came by liver failure by accident, rather than prolonged effort. What to do for the folks with hepatic encephalopathy? As Nick8's link describes, the reason for this trouble is thought to be accumulation of ammonia, which normally the liver can get rid of. When this stuff builds up it stuns the brain. Zeolite is a natural mineral widely used to adsorb ammonia in applications such as wastewater treatment and aquarium maintenance. I propose that a slurry be devised for the liver impaired, consisting of zeolite slurry. This stuff will adsorb ammonia on the way thru the gut and eventually be pooped out. Possibly, if has not been exhausted, it will go on to aid with municipal wastewater treatment. The "Z-slurry" will buttress what is left of the liver, allowing the person to cloud his mind only with the chemicals of his choosing.
