Abstract

Abstract

Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) greatly increases the economic burden of patients with liver disease and seriously affects their quality of life. HE has a complex pathological basis and various influencing factors, and its pathogenesis has not been fully clarified. There is still no specific effective therapy for this disease, and drug therapy often has an unsatisfactory clinical effect, as many drugs have poor tolerability, low compliance, and common adverse effects. This article analyzes and summarizes the non-drug therapies for hepatic encephalopathy including protein food and gut microbiota regulation, in order to provide new ideas and high-quality regimens for clinical treatment.
- Hepatic Encephalopathy,
- Gastrointestinal Microbiome,
- Healthy Diet,
- Therapeutics
