Latent Hepatic Encephalopathy in Patients with Minimum Hepatic Fibrosis

چکیده
Латентная печеночная энцефалопатия (ЛПЭ), обозначаемая также как минимальная, при помощи специальных методов может быть диагностирована у 30–85% больных циррозом, т. е. представляет собой наиболее частое осложнение заболеваний печени вне зависимости от этиологии [1–3]. Важнейшее клиникосоциальное значение ЛПЭ определяется неадекватной реакцией пациента в экстремальных условиях, в первую очередь при вождении автомобиля, что сопряжено с повышенным риском создания аварийных ситуаций [1, 4]. Результаты множества исследований – как экспериментальных, так и клинических – дают основание постулировать роль аммиака в качестве одного из важнейших нейротоксических метаболитов. Как известно, наиболее значительное его количество образуется вследствие дезаминирования аминокислот в печени; в качестве дополнительных П.О. БОГОМОЛОВ 1, к.м.н., А.О.
