| 中文描述 | 造成肝性腦病變通常是某些對CNS有潛在性毒性的物質，吸收後並未經過門脈循環消除或者經過肝的減毒作用。和先天性門體靜脈分流時常有很大的關係，但很少是因為後天所引起的。也和急性或慢性肝衰竭、尿素循環所需酵素的缺乏有關。診斷可用症狀、肝功能測試、對肝門靜脈系統的血管造影對比度、X光照影和組織切片。 |
| 英文描述 | Hepatic encephalopathy occurs when substances potentially toxic to the CNS are not removed from the portal circulation and detoxified by the liver. This is most commonly associated with congenital portal-systemic shunts, but rarely may be due to acquired shunts, acute or chronic liver failure, or urea cycle enzyme deficiencies. Dx is based on signs, liver function tests, contrast angiography of the portal venous system, radiology and biopsy. |
