Abstract:
Visual, auditory and brainstem event-related potentials were obtained from patients with hepatocellular and cholestatic disease and a control group of normal subjects. The results did not reveal systematic neurophysiologic disturbances in persons with well compensated cirrhosis. It is concluded that short-latency event-related potentials are rather insensitive for detecting subclinical hepatic encephalopathy.
