[Early symptoms of hepatic encephalopathy in patients with chronic diffuse hepatic diseases].
Four hundred and twenty-three patients with chronic diffuse hepatic diseases (hepatitis and viral hepatic cirrhosis) underwent complex clinico-instrumental examination; the control group consisted of 30 healthy individuals. Hepatic encephalopathy syndrome was a much more frequent finding in patients with hepatic cirrhosis. Association of chronic viral hepatic lesion with alcohol abuse increased the frequency of latent central nervous system lesions.
