Abstract:
Recently, Chinese Society of Gastroenterology of Chinese Medical Association organized the experts to formulate the Chinese consensus on clinical diagnosis and management of covert hepatic encephalopathy. The consensus was developed based on a review of recent domestic and foreign guidelines, a summary of the new achievements in the field, and a consideration of the practice of China. The consensus updated the concept and epidemiological characteristics, explained the risk factors, pathogenesis, and hazards of covert hepatic encephalopathy, and provided recommendations for its diagnosis, treatment, and chronic disease management. This paper interpreted the key points of this consensus, to provide reference and guidance for clinical practice.
