of the major complications
of cirrhosis (scarring

of hospital re-admission due to its recurrence, despite treatment.1 It can occur suddenly in people with acute liver failure, but is seen more often in those with chronic liver disease.1 Symptoms
of hepatic encephalopathy
include mild confusion, forgetfulness, poor concentration and personality or mood changes, but can progress to extreme anxiety, seizures, severe confusion, jumbled and slurred speech and slow movement.1 The first step in treatment is to identify and treat any factors that cause hepatic encephalopathy.2 Once the episode has resolved, further treatment aims to reduce the production and absorption
of toxins, such as ammonia.1 Generally, there are two
types of medication used to reduce the likelihood
of another hepatic encephalopathy episode — lactulose and rifaximin.2 However, it remains a leading cause
of hospitalisations and re-hospitalisations in cirrhotic
patients, despite the use
of the above - mentioned standard
of care treatment.
