The role of tryptophan (TRY) and its metabolites in the pathogenesis of hepatic encephalopathy is conflicting. The aim of the present study is to investigate in posthepatitis cirrhotic patients with encephalopathy the serum levels of TRY and those of its metabolite indole-3-acetic acid, as well as TRY binding curve to serum albumin and the competition with indole-3-acetic acid. The presence of a relationship between encephalopathy severity and circulating free TRY was also investigated.
