Abstract:
Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a common and complex neuropsychiatric complication in patients with liver cirrhosis and has the features of high incidence, recurrence, and mortality rates, and it is also an important factor for the increased risk of hospitalization and rehospitalization. At present, there are still no effective drugs for HE. Recent studies have found that intestinal microecological changes are associated with the development, progression, and prognosis of HE, and the regulation of intestinal flora has a certain preventive effect on HE. This article summarizes the research on the association between intestinal microecology and HE in recent years and hopes to provide new ideas for clinical prevention and treatment of HE.
