To assess the effects of lactulose for the prevention of first episode of altered sensorium (hepatic encephalopathy, primary prophylaxis) in patients with cirrhosis.

Development of hepatic encephalopathy in a patient with cirrhosis is associated with poor survival rate of 10-70% at one year depending upon hepatic and renal functions.
