Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to examine S.endotoxins , inflammatory mediators and Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS) before and after treatment in patients of cirrhosis and minimal hepatic encephalopathy.

Description:

60 patients of cirrhosis with Minimal Hepatic Encephalopathy (MHE) who fulfills the inclusion & exclusion criteria will be the part of study. Study patients will be divided in to two groups ( n=30 in each group).

Group L patients will receive lactulose therapy while Group NL will receive placebo. After 3 months , S.endotoxins , inflammatory mediators and MRS will be repeated in each group.
