La cirrosi epatica può avere gravi conseguenze anche sul cervello

Liver cirrhosis is a disease that prevents the liver from performing its vital functions, such as filtering blood and producing proteins. One of its most common complications is hepatic encephalopathy, which causes mental confusion, disorientation, memory difficulties, and, in the most severe cases, coma and permanent neurological damage. Hepatic encephalopathy is underdiagnosed or recognized late, and to make it "visible," the campaign "Hepatic encephalopathy: can you see it?" promoted by Alfasigma in collaboration with the EpaC – ETS Association was presented at the Rome Delegation of the Lombardy Region. Hepatic encephalopathy is almost always diagnosed too late, generating a "domino effect" that produces devastating clinical consequences. Reaching patients before they experience decompensation through timely diagnosis is vital. For this reason, information campaigns such as "can you see it?" They are essential for raising awareness and helping patients and caregivers recognize warning signs early.
