Elevated cerebral lactate : implications in the pathogenesis of hepatic encephalopathy
(Springer, 2014-06-11)
Hepatic encephalopathy (HE), a complex neuropsychiatric syndrome, is a frequent complication of liver
failure/disease. Increased concentrations of lactate are commonly observed in HE patients, in the systemic circulation,
but ...
Brain edema : a valid endpoint for measuring hepatic encephalopathy?
(2016-06)
Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a major complication of liver failure/disease which frequently develops during the progression of end-stage liver disease. This metabolic neuropsychiatric syndrome involves a spectrum of ...
Lessons on brain edema in HE : from cellular to animal models and clinical studies
(Springer, 2023-08-22)
Brain edema is considered as a common feature associated with hepatic encephalopathy (HE). However, its central role as cause or consequence of HE and its implication in the development of the neurological alterations ...
Increased brain lactate is central to the development of brain edema in rats with chronic liver disease
(2014)
The pathogenesis of brain edema in patients with chronic liver disease (CLD) and minimal hepatic encephalopathy (HE) remains undefined. This study evaluated the role of brain lactate, glutamine and organic osmolytes, ...
Mild hypothermia prevents brain edema and attenuates up-regulation of the astrocytic benzodiazepine receptor in experimental acute liver failure
(2005-05)
BACKGROUND/AIMS: Mild hypothermia has proven useful in the clinical management of patients with acute liver failure. Acute liver failure in experimental animals results in alterations in the expression of genes coding for ...
Mild hypothermia prevents cerebral edema and CSF lactate accumulation in acute liver failure
(2001-06)
Evidence from both clinical and experimental studies demonstrates that mild hypothermia prevents encephalopathy and brain edema in acute liver failure (ALF). As part of a series of studies to elucidate the mechanism(s) ...
Effects of hypothermia on brain glucose metabolism in acute liver failure: a H/C-nuclear magnetic resonance study
(2003)
Mild hypothermia has a protective effect on brain edema and encephalopathy in both experimental and human acute liver failure. The goals of the present study were to examine the effects of mild hypothermia (35°C) on brain ...
Brain edema in acute liver failure and chronic liver disease: Similarities and differences
(2013)
Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a complex neuropsychiatric syndrome that typically develops as a result of acute liver failure or chronic liver disease. Brain edema is a common feature associated with HE. In acute liver ...
Loss of noradrenaline transporter sites in frontal cortex of rats with acute (ischemic) liver failure
(2001)
There is increasing evidence that central noradrenaline (NA) transport mechanisms are implicated in the central nervous system complications of acute liver failure. In order to assess this possibility, binding sites for ...
