End-stage (or advanced) liver disease can cause a variety of complications, and signs and symptoms. One complication is the syndrome known as Hepatic Encephalopathy, which is a reversible syndrome involving neuropsychiatric abnormalities caused by an elevation in neurotoxin levels. In this lesson, we discuss this syndrome, the proposed pathophysiology behind why it occurs, the signs and symptoms and staging of Hepatic Encephalopathy, how it’s diagnosed and how it’s treated by clinicians.
