Minimal Hepatic Encephalopathy Clinical Trial

Official title:
Minimal Hepatic Encephalopathy is Associated With Increased Cerebral Vascular Resistance. a Transcranial Doppler Ultrasound Study

Clinical Trial Summary

Minimal hepatic encephalopathy (MHE) is a subclinical complication of liver cirrhosis with a relevant social impact. Thus, there is urgent need to implement easy to use diagnostic tools for the early identification of affected patients.

This study was aimed to investigate cerebral blood flow, systemic hemodynamics as well as endothelial function of cirrhotic patients with MHE, and to verify their change after treatment with rifaximin.
