Abstract:
Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a serious neuropsychological complication in advanced liver disease, and is a major cause of death in patients with liver disease. The paper briefly introduces the advances in application of HE grading, examination methods, and electroencephalography (EEG) in the diagnosis of HE, and points out that EEG has been developed greatly in the field of HE, with huge potentials for the diagnosis, evaluation, prognosis, and guidance for treatment of HE. However, the clinical value of EEG monitoring in HE has not been widely acknowledged in the medical world, and further investigation is still needed in the future.
