Objective To evaluate regional cerebral metabolic changes in minimal hepatic
encephalopathy (MHE) patients using magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) in 3T …

Aim To examine whether the brain exhibits metabolic disorder prior to overt hepatic
encephalopathy in patients with liver cirrhosis (LC), the intracerebral glutamine and myo …

Results The brain metabolite Glx increased with a significant correlation to HE grade (p=
0.001). Other brain metabolites, such as Cho and mI, decreased significantly (p= 0.001) …

Background and purpose The results of a few studies suggest that magnetic resonance
spectroscopy of the brain could allow detection of minimal hepatic encephalopathy. The …

Purpose To conduct the first investigation on thalamic metabolic alterations in minimal
hepatic encephalopathy (MHE) and elucidate their association with intrinsic neural activity …

Objectives: Hepatic encephalopathy is a complex of neuropsychiatric manifestations in
patients with acute or chronic liver insufficiency and/or porto-systemic shunts. Material and …

Objective Various imaging modalities have been used to explore pathogenic mechanisms
and stratify the severity of hepatic encephalopathy (HE). The hypothesis of this meta …

Purpose: To evaluate regional cerebral metabolic and structural changes in patients with
minimal hepatic encephalopathy (MHE) using two‐dimensional (2D) MR spectroscopy …

ABSTRACT Background/Aims: Cirrhotic patients often demonstrate high signal intensity on
T1-weighted magnetic resonance (MRI) images in basal ganglia with accumulation of …

Minimal hepatic encephalopathy (MHE) is frequently diagnosed in patients with liver
cirrhosis who do not show overt clinical cirrhosis-associated neurological deficits. This …
