Comparison Between Lactulose and Lactulose-Paraffin in Cirrhotic Patients

CirrhosisHepatic Encephalopathy

Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is an important complication of liver cirrhosis. Lactulose is a first line treatment for HE, but the adherence to this treatment is relatively low, due to side effects such as diarrhea, distention, etc.

Phase II Study of Lactulose and Circadian Rhythms in Patients With Cirrhosis

Portal HypertensionHepatic Encephalopathy1 more

OBJECTIVES: I. Assess the effect of lactulose on the circadian rhythm of plasma melatonin in patients with subclinical hepatic encephalopathy. II. Assess the intrasubject variability of circadian melatonin levels and neuropsychological tests. III. Assess which elements of the neuropsychological test battery show the response to lactulose.

Brain Muscle Axis During Treatment of Hepatic Encephalopathy With L-ornithine L-aspartate

Hepatic EncephalopathyMinimal Hepatic Encephalopathy1 more

Patients with cirrhosis of the liver may suffer from a condition called hepatic encephalopathy which in its mildest form as mental slowing and impaired reaction times in driving and machinery operation. Left untreated it may lead to deep coma. The cause is not fully understood but is though to be related to the inability of a damaged liver to filter out toxins such as ammonia in the blood, which then accumulate within the brain and result in altered function and swelling within certain brain cells,astrocytes. These patients also suffer from muscle loss, which is associated with a poor outcome. L-ornithine L-aspartate(LOLA) is a licensed drug in Germany and has been shown to promote ammonia elimination from the body in the form of urea. Some experimental studies have suggested that LOLA also potentially attenuates muscle loss by incorporating ammonia into muscle in the form of glutamine. The aim of this study is to determine cognitive and nutritional effects of 12 weeks of LOLA administration and its effect on brain muscle structure and function in patients with cirrhosis.

Intravenous Branched Chain Amino Acids for Hepatic Encephalopathy in ACLF

Hepatic EncephalopathyAcute-On-Chronic Liver Failure

This study analyses the effect of intravenous branched chain amino acids (BCAA) on overt HE in patients with ACLF. The investigators plan to study the efficacy of combining intravenous BCAA with lactulose versus lactulose alone in the medical management of overt HE in patients with ACLF and its impact on overall survival and improvement in grade of HE.

N-acetylcysteine in Non-Acetaminophen Pediatric Acute Liver Failure

Acute Liver FailureHepatic Encephalopathy

We have completed patient enrollment in the the double blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial of intravenous (IV) N-acetylcysteine (NAC) vs. placebo for the treatment of non-acetaminophen ALF. The purpose of this study is to examine the safety and efficacy of intravenous NAC in children with ALF for whom no antidote or other specific treatment is available. Inclusion in the NAC Study required enrollment in the Pediatric Acute Liver Failure (PALF) Study Registry.
