Medications for Hepatic Encephalopathy
Hepatic Encephalopathy (HE) is a neurologic condition
that is caused by a dysfunction of the liver. Yellowing of the
skin and loss of muscle are signs of liver dysfunction. Sleep
problems may occur prior to development of the neurologic
signs, which include involuntary movements of the arms and
legs and flapping of hands. Other signs and symptoms include
a decrease in mental alertness, disorientation, and speech
dysfunction. Typically a specific cause leads to neurologic
dysfunction. These neurologic symptoms resolve once the
specific cause is identified and addressed. An increase in
protein, low potassium, infection, low blood sugar, constipa
tion, or gastrointestinal bleeding can lead to HE in an indi
vidual with existing liver dysfunction. An increase in ammonia
levels can lead to HE, and all of the specific causes listed above
can lead to an increase in ammonia levels.
Treatments to decrease or prevent the production of ammo
nia can help resolve HE. Lactulose (Enulose) is a synthetic
disaccharide that works to decrease the amount of ammonia in
the blood. Antibiotics such as metronidazole {Flagyl), vanco
mycin (Vancocin), rifaximin, and neomycin may be also be
prescribed to remove ammonia along with lactulose or for
persons who do not tolerate lactulose.
