This volume explores the latest experimental and clinical protocols used to study hepatic encephalopathy (HE). The chapters in this book are organized into three parts, each focusing on different aspects of HE research. Part One covers protocols for diagnosing and monitoring HE in clinical practice. Part Two talks about various animal models and experimental techniques designed to investigate the pathogenesis of HE and evaluate potential treatments. Part Three looks at the underlying mechanisms and pathophysiological processes involved in HE, and presents advanced techniques and strategies for investigating the complex interactions that contribute to HE. In the Neuromethods series style, chapters include the kind of detail and key advice from the specialists needed to get successful results in your laboratory.

Cutting-edge and authoritative, Experimental and Clinical Methods in Hepatic Encephalopathy Research provides researchers and clinicians with a comprehensive guide of both experimental and clinical methods, and the mechanisms underlying the complex condition of HE.
