Human Albumin Infusion in Liver Cirrhosis and Overt Hepatic Encephalopathy (HACHE)
Hepatic encephalopathy (HE), a severe complication of decompensated cirrhosis, is characterized as neurocognitive dysfunction. Emerging evidence suggests the potential role of human albumin infusion for the treatment of HE, but its optimal dosage remains undefined. Therefore, the investigators planned a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to compare the efficacy of human …
Hepatic Encephalopathy and Albumin Lasting Cognitive Improvement
Hypothesis: Improvement in cognitive dysfunction with IV albumin in patients with cirrhosis with prior HE and MHE lasts for several weeks after albumin infusion has ended, and is due to persistent improvement in inflammatory markers, endothelial dysfunction, albumin function and gut microbial changes. This will be a single-arm, single-blind sequential …
Hepatic Encephalopathy Prevention With Polydextrose After TIPS: Pilot Study (POEME)
TIPS is a standard for the treatment of portal hypertension related complications. However, it remains at risk of HE after TIPS (around 40% the first year). Dysbiosis plays a key role in pathophysiology of HE. Polydextrose (PDX) is consider as a prebiotic. Preliminary studies showed that PDX: modified gut microbiota, …
Fecal Microbiota Transplantation by Oral Capsules for Hepatic Encephalopathy Treatment
This interventional study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of oral capsule fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) for treating hepatic encephalopathy refractory to conventional rifaximin and lactulose therapy in patients with liver cirrhosis. Patients diagnosed with hepatic encephalopathy refractory to rifaximin and lactulose therapy will be randomized into three groups. …
Efficacy and Safety of Nitazoxanide in Preventing Recurrence of Hepatic Encephalopathy
Efficacy and Safety of Nitazoxanide in preventing recurrence of Hepatic Encephalopathy.
Evaluation of Minimal Hepatic Encephalopathy in Patients With Cirrhosis and Portal Hypertension
Minimal hepatic encephalopathy (MHE) is a subclinical cognitive impairment and represents the mildest type of hepatic encephalopathy (HE). Portal hypertension is the main complication of cirrhosis and is responsible of severe complications such as HE. The consequence of portal hypertension is the formation of the spontaneous portosystemic shunts (SPSS). The …
Prevention of Post-TIPS Hepatic Encephalopathy by Administration of Rifaximin and Lactulose
Rationale: Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a major and common complication in patients with liver cirrhosis. HE can be classified in the extensive range of neurocognitive deterioration as minimal HE (MHE), covert HE (grade I), or overt HE (OHE, grade II-IV). Liver cirrhosis is the most common cause of portal hypertension …
Late Evening and Early Morning Protein Supplement to Reduce Readmissions for Hepatic Encephalopathy
Readmission rates for patients with hepatic encephalopathy due to end stage liver disease are high. Hyperammonemia contributes significantly to encephalopathy and occurs because of impaired hepatic ureagenesis and increased skeletal muscle proteolysis. We propose a randomized, 6-month nutritional intervention in cirrhotic patients who have had at least 1 admission for …
Pilot Open-Label Trial of Resistant Potato Starch in Patients With Cirrhosis and Overt Hepatic Encephalopathy
This research is studying how a food product (resistant potato starch) which is a dietary supplement made from potato starch affects the gut bacteria of people with cirrhosis and hepatic encephalopathy. The researchers in this study want to understand how potato starch works in the subject's body and how the …
BCAA vs. Rifaximin in Patients With Cirrhosis for Secondary Prophylaxis of HE
Rationale Patients who recover from an episode of overt HE(OHE) are at risk of recurrent episodes of HE and persistent minimal hepatic encephalopathy, impacting their daily functioning and mental health. A multicentric pan-India team will evaluate the role of oral branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) vs Rifaximin as secondary prophylaxis following …
