ABSTRACT
Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a common serious complication of liver cirrhosis, with sudden onset, indicating a poor prognosis in patients with chronic liver disease. Minimal hepatic encephalopathy (MHE) is an early stage of HE with no apparent symptoms, but it shows abnormal results in neuropsychological and/or neurophysiological tests. MHE affects patients' quality of life, employability, driving ability, and has a high risk of developing overt hepatic encephalopathy (OHE). This article aims to explore various diagnostic methods, strengthen the routine work of clinicians in diagnosis and treatment, and develop an effective MHE screening protocol.
