Prakash Summary Because of the increasing burden of hepatitis C and fatty liver disease, there is an explosion in the prevalence of chronic liver failure and hence its complications. The onset of Hepatic Encephalopathy (HE) in these patients has a significant impact on the quality of life, morbidity and mortality. Unfortunately, the approach observed by most clinicians to this complex disorder is minimalistic. ¡ ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ Hepatic Encephalopathy provides a comprehensive review on pathophysiology and clinically important aspects in HE. Topics in basic physiology, nitrogen metabolism, new insights into pathogenesis and brain edema are covered in great detail. The authors have made a special effort by simplifying the complex aspects of pathogenesis and diagnosis so that it can be easily understood and applied clinically. This volume also focuses on recent developments regarding diagnoses of subtle forms of HE, also known as minimal or covert HE as well as on new treatments. Hepatic Encephalopathy will be of great value to gastroenterologists, hepatologists, pathologists, medical residents, fellows, internists, and general practitioners who treat patients with hepatic encephalopathy. ¡ Analysis Medicine Gastroenterology Clinical medicine Pathology Emergency medicine Medicine & Public Health Hepatology Primary Care Medicine spijsverteringsstelsel digestive system geneeskunde volksgezondheid public health eerstelijnsgezondheidszorg primary health care pathologie Medicine (General) Geneeskunde (algemeen) Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Subject Hepatic encephalopathy.
