| Popis: | Minimal hepatic encephalopathy, previously called subclinical hepatic encephalopathy, represents the earliest and mildest form of hepatic encephalopathy. It is the most under-recognized and underdiagnosed form of hepatic encephalopathy. Although there is no diagnostic gold standard, validated testing modalities have been devised to detect this neurocognitive complication. The newest developments include medically related apps for smartphones or tablets that can be easily used to diagnose and monitor minimal hepatic encephalopathy. Although recognition of this neurocognitive impairment can be challenging, early detection is paramount with the discovery of an association with worse clinical outcomes in patients diagnosed with minimal hepatic encephalopathy. |
