The pathogenesis of hepatic encephalopathy has not been fully elucidated, but a large amount of information has shown that ammonia is an important mediator of hepatic encephalopathy.
Most current treatments are for the treatment of hyperammonemia, which is a feature of most hepatic encephalopathy.
The treatment principles of hepatic encephalopathy are roughly divided into four aspects: ➤ find and remove the inducement; ➤ reduce the production and absorption of ammonia and other toxins from the intestinal tract.
It includes a low-protein diet, changing the intestinal bacterial spectrum and colon environment (antibiotics, lactulose/lacitol), and stimulating intestinal emptying (intestinal washing); ➤ Proper nutritional support and maintaining water and electrolyte balance; ➤ According to the clinical type , Make personalized treatment plans for different causes and severity of diseases.
Removal of inducements Most hepatic encephalopathy/mild hepatic encephalopathy have certain predisposing factors, and after the predisposing factors are removed, hepatic encephalopathy/mild hepatic encephalopathy can often resolve spontaneously.
The causes of hepatic encephalopathy are: ➤ infection ➤ gastrointestinal bleeding ➤ electrolyte disturbance (hypovalence/alkaliosis) ➤ dehydration ➤ central nervous system active drugs ➤ constipation ➤ excessive protein intake ➤ not taking lactulose as prescribed ➤ uremia Symptoms ➤ Intestinal obstruction ➤ Used anesthetics ➤ Superinfected hepatitis ➤ Progression of hepatocellular carcinoma ➤ Portal decompression or TIPS surgery Some causes and solutions are as follows: Nutrition European Society for Enteral and Parenteral Nutrition (ESPEN) Guidelines The recommended non-protein energy intake for patients with hepatic encephalopathy grade 1 and grade 2 is 104.
6-146.
4 kJ/kg/d; the initial protein intake is 0.
5 g/kg/d, and then gradually increased to 1.
0-1.
5 g/kg /d.
If the patient is intolerant to animal protein, branched-chain amino acids and plant protein can be supplemented appropriately.
For patients with hepatic encephalopathy grades 3 and 4, the recommended non-protein energy intake is 104.
6-146.
4 kJ/kg/d, and the protein intake is 0.
5-1.
2 g/kg/d.Patients with hepatic encephalopathy prefer enteral nutrition.
If parenteral nutrition is necessary, it is recommended that fat supply accounts for 35%-50% of non-protein energy, and the rest is provided by carbohydrates.
It requires more protein (1.
2 g/kg/d) to maintain a positive nitrogen balance in patients with liver cirrhosis, so it is not possible to limit protein in these patients for a long time.
Therapeutic drugs and other auxiliary treatment methods The non-biological artificial liver methods currently used clinically to assist the treatment of hepatic encephalopathy mainly include: plasma exchange, hemoperfusion, hemofiltration, hemofiltration dialysis (HDF), plasma filtration dialysis (PDF) , Molecular Adsorption Recirculation System (MARS), partial plasma separation and adsorption system, etc.
