| pubmed-article:2534368 | pubmed:abstractText | Thirty-five patients with alcohol cirrhosis were treated for several months (average 4 months) with Infloran (6 capsules daily). Thirty cirrhotics were treated for the same length of time with lactulose and diuretics. Infloran-treated patients showed reduced ammonium levels, improvement of mental status and psychological performance. In addition, patients who required hospitalization had shorter in-patient periods thanks to a more rapid psychological and physical improvement. Infloran may be considered a valid alternative to conventional therapy for the out-patient management of subjects with alcoholic cirrhosis. | lld:pubmed |
