Hepatic encephalopathy EEG and octopamine.
In a group of 30 patients with and without hepatic encephalopathy octopamine values were determined and EEG recorded. The data reported show no relationship between octopamine values and presence or seriousness of hepatic encephalopathy but showed a clear correlation between hepatic encophalopathy and electroencephologram disturbance.
