Abstract: Minimal hepatic encephalopathy (MHE) is characterized by diffuse abnormalities in cerebral structure, such as reduced cortical thickness and altered brain parenchymal volume. This study tested the potential of gray matter (GM) volumetry to differentiate between… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jgh.13917
Abstract: Minimal hepatic encephalopathy (MHE) predicts poor prognosis and could reflect an advanced liver disease. We aimed to assess whether MHE could be a surrogate marker of a further liver disease. read more here.

DOI: 10.1155/2020/7364649
Abstract: Purpose Gray matter volume loss, regional cortical thinning, and local gyrification index alteration have been documented in minimal hepatic encephalopathy (MHE). Fractal dimension (FD), another morphological parameter, has been widely used to describe structural complexity… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0186463
Abstract: Background and aims Minimal hepatic encephalopathy (MHE) is associated with cognitive alterations and changes in connectivity. We assessed the relationship of the abnormalities of resting-state functional connectivity (rs-FC) and gray matter (GM) volume with different… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fneur.2022.900997
Abstract: Background and aims Patients with cirrhosis commonly experience minimal hepatic encephalopathy (MHE), and alterations in neurotransmitters have been thought to be related to cognitive function. However, the relationship between alterations in peripheral and central butyrylcholinesterase… read more here.

DOI: 10.5152/dir.2019.19216
Abstract: PURPOSE We aimed to investigate the multilevel impairments of brain structural network in patients with minimal hepatic encephalopathy (MHE). METHODS Twenty-two patients with MHE and 22 well-matched healthy controls (HC) underwent structural magnetic resonance imaging… read more here.

DOI: 10.5604/16652681.1226822
Abstract: INTRODUCTION Minimal hepatic encephalopathy (MHE) can reverse after short-term treatment. However, relapse rate of MHE after stopping treatment has not been studied so far. We aimed to evaluate long-term (9 months) efficacy of a short-term… read more here.
