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).

Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top Hepatic encephalopathy is caused by disorders affecting the liver. These include disorders that reduce liver function (such as cirrhosis or hepatitis ) and conditions where blood circulation bypasses the liver. The exact cause of the disorder is unknown. However, when the liver cannot properly metabolize and detoxify substances in the body, toxic substances build up in the bloodstream. One substance believed to be particularly toxic to the central nervous system is

    Extractions: 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.
