Psychometric Hepatic Encephalopathy Score for the Diagnosis of Minimal Hepatic Encephalopathy in Romanian Cirrhotic Patients--partial Results.
UNLABELLED In Romania, minimal hepatic encephalopathy (MHE) is underdiagnosed and undertreated in patients with liver cirrhosis. The psychometric hepatic encephalopathy score (PHES) is recommended as the first-line tool for the diagnosis of MHE. AIM To use PHES in a group of Romanian cirrhotic patients and highlight the relationships between demographic and biological factors and tests result...
متن کاملNon invasive blood flow measurement in cerebellum detects minimal hepatic encephalopathy earlier than psychometric tests.
AIM To assess whether non invasive blood flow measurement by arterial spin labeling in several brain regions detects minimal hepatic encephalopathy. METHODS Blood flow (BF) was analyzed by arterial spin labeling (ASL) in different brain areas of 14 controls, 24 cirrhotic patients without and 16 cirrhotic patients with minimal hepatic encephalopathy (MHE). Images were collected using a 3 Tesla...
متن کاملFrontal assessment battery: A tool for screening minimal hepatic encephalopathy?
AIM To apply the Frontal Assessment Battery to cirrhotic patients with or without overt hepatic encephalopathy (OHE) and controls. METHODS The frontal assessment battery (FAB) was applied to 87 patients with liver cirrhosis (16 with and 71 without OHE) and 40 control subjects without cirrhosis treated at the alcohol and liver outpatient clinics and the gastroenterology ward of the Cassiano An...
متن کاملDetection of minimal hepatic encephalopathy: normalization and optimization of the Psychometric Hepatic Encephalopathy Score. A neuropsychological and quantified EEG study.
BACKGROUND/AIMS Psychometric Hepatic Encephalopathy Score (PHES) and EEG are used to detect minimal hepatic encephalopathy (MHE). We aimed at standardizing PHES in Italy and comparing Italian, German and Spanish norms in EEG characterized cirrhotic patients. METHODS PHES was standardized on 228 normal individuals. Repeatability was studied in 128 individuals. One hundred patients with liver c...
متن کاملOral glutamine challenge improves the performance of psychometric tests for the diagnosis of minimal hepatic encephalopathy in patients with liver cirrhosis.
BACKGROUND & AIMS Minimal hepatic encephalopathy is difficult to diagnose due to the lack of a gold standard test. Oral glutamine challenge has been found to increase blood ammonia in cirrhosis leading to secondary cognitive impairment. The aim of this study was to evaluate the value of oral glutamine challenge in improving the psychometric performance for the diagnosis of minimal hepatic encep...
