Book Description
This is a comprehensive reference covering the advances in hepatic encephalopathy (HE) and metabolic nitrogen exchange. Written by experts in their fields, the text discusses various aspects of hepatic nitrogen metabolism, protein metabolism, renal ammonia metabolism, neurobiology and neuropharmacology, and ammonia in the pathogenesis of HE. Benzodiazepine receptor ligands in the pathogenesis of HE are featured, and amino acids, amines, and zinc in the pathogeneis of HE are investigated. Studies done with various animal models are included. New techniques, MR spectroscopy and imaging, are highlighted. Steps for the diagnosis and assessment of HE are provided, and the effects of therapy are examined. Useful information is given regarding the metabolic aspects of liver cirrhosis and liver cell physiology.

Encephalopathy and Nitrogen Metabolism in Liver Failure
Author: E. Anthony Jones
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9401001596
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 454
Book Description
Encephalopathy and Nitrogen Metabolism in Liver Failure contains research reports and state-of-the-art reviews that were presented at the 11th International Symposium on Hepatic Encephalopathy and Nitrogen Metabolism in relation to liver disease, that was held in Amsterdam, The Netherlands from 30 May to 1 June, 2002. Themes covered include the metabolism of ammonia and amino acids in relation to liver disease, the assessment of hepatic encephalopathy (HE), minimal HE, animal models of HE, neuropsychiatric dysfunction in patients with chronic liver disease, the pathogenesis of HE, the astrocyte in liver disease, acute liver failure and cerebral edema, treatment of HE and artificial liver support systems. This volume provides an indispensable source of important new research findings and ideas for clinicians and biomedical scientists working in the field of HE and nitrogen metabolism in relation to liver disease.

Hepatic Encephalopathy
Author: Kevin D. Mullen
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1617798363
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 251
Book Description
Because of the increasing burden of hepatitis C and fatty liver disease, there is an explosion in the prevalence of chronic liver failure and hence its complications. The onset of Hepatic Encephalopathy (HE) in these patients has a significant impact on the quality of life, morbidity and mortality. Unfortunately, the approach observed by most clinicians to this complex disorder is minimalistic. This book provides a comprehensive review on pathophysiology and clinically important aspects in HE. Topics in basic physiology, nitrogen metabolism, new insights into pathogenesis and brain edema are covered in great detail. The authors have made a special effort by simplifying the complex aspects of pathogenesis and diagnosis so that it can be easily understood and applied clinically. This volume also focuses on recent developments regarding diagnoses of subtle forms of HE, also known as minimal or covert HE as well as on new treatments. Hepatic Encephalopathy will be of great value to gastroenterologists, hepatologists, pathologists, medical residents, fellows, internists and general practitioners who treat patients with hepatic encephalopathy.
