Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a brain dysfunction caused by liver insufficiency and/or portosystemic shunting that manifests as
sub-neurological or psychiatric abnormalities that range in severity from subclinical alterations to coma. In the absence of effective treatment, HE is associated with a high risk of recurrence and hospitalization. Moreover, while significant advances in care have occurred over the past decade, patients hospitalized with HE continue to be at extremely high risk for mortality. Both the AASLD/EASL practice guidelines and ISHEN consensus statements provide detailed, evidence-based recommendations for the prevention of acute episode recurrence and strategies for improving the care of patients with HE. Join expert faculty Robert Rahimi, MD, MSCR as he discusses the latest data and best practices to align current clinical practice with these recommendations.
