A member asked:
Has anyone survived hepatic encephalopathy?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: The prognosis of hepatic encephalopathy really is dependent on how far advanced the liver disease is. If the liver function is still enough to be compatible with life, treatment of underlying infections, drugs to lower the ammonia level etc usually will improve the encephalopathy.
