Abstract:
Currently, since there is still no “gold standard” for the diagnosis of minimal hepatic encephalopathy (MHE), a “quick and simple” diagnosis cannot be made, and a diagnosis needs a comprehensive evaluation. Some new detection techniques, such as imaging examination, have shown their advantages and may become new directions for the research and development of diagnostic methods in the future. The treatment of MHE should focus on eliminating precipitating factors, regulating diets, and preventing and blocking the increase in blood ammonia. Moreover, the communication and guidance between doctors and patients on diet regulation are necessary and important.
