Abstract:
Hepatic encephalopathy and malnutrition due to hyperammonemia often interact with each other, forming a vicious circle in patients with cirrhosis. In addition, hepatic encephalopathy and malnutrition have a high incidence in patients with cirrhosis, which seriously affects the quality of life and prognosis. Therefore, identifying whether malnutrition is present in patients with cirrhosis combined with hepatic encephalopathy is crucial for providing appropriate interventions.This article reviews the pathogenesis, nutritional assessment methods, and nutritional management of malnutrition in patients with liver cirrhosis combined with hepatic encephalopathy.
