Minimal Hepatic Encephalopathy (MHE)

1. Episodic (precipitant-induced) encephalopathy, commonly seen in the hospital setting, where a superimposed event is a key factor. 2. Persistent (chronic) encephalopathy, seen with extensive portal–systemic shunts and after portocaval shunt surgery or placement of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS). 3. Minimal (subclinical) encephalopathy reflects alterations in cognitive function in patients who clinically exhibit a normal mental state.
