Cerebral Oxygen, Blood Flow and Ammonia Uptake in Patients With Cirrhosis and an Acute Episode of Hepatic Encephalopathy (HE)
June 18, 2012 updated by: University of Aarhus
Cerebral Oxygen, Blood Flow and Ammonia Uptake in Patients With Cirrhosis and an Acute Episode of HE
We wish to study patients with liver cirrhosis during and 2 weeks after an acute episode of liver coma (hepatic encephalopathy).
By means of Positron Emission Tomography we investigate; brain blood flow, brain ammonia uptake and brain oxygen consumption.
We hypothesize that blood flow an oxygen consumption is diminished and ammonia uptake increased during an acute episode of hepatic encephalopathy.
