[The characteristics of the alpha-rhythm electroencephalogram in patients with liver cirrhosis]

The brain functional state in patients with liver cirrhosis was investigated, the correlational dependence between the intrinsically present alpha-rhythm of electroencephalogram pattern of examined patients and the brain reactions signs while the functional tests conduction was studied up. The data obtained are compared with the results of such investigations, conducted in healthy persons. The results of investigations witness the brain functional possibilities lowering in patients with liver cirrhosis. The test with photostimulation is pathognomonic for this disease.
