pubmed:abstractText |
In patients with cirrhosis, infection of the stomach with Helicobacter pylori may increase ammonia production and, consequently, the incidence of hepatic encephalopathy. To test this hypothesis a retrospective analysis was performed in patients with a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt. These patients are regarded to be ideal candidates for such a study since they have a high bioavailability of gut-derived ammonia and many of them develop spontaneous hepatic encephalopathy.
