Hi @racing212,
I’d like to invite @techi @godlygal @teresatopeka @amyintucson @kltchrmn, as they have talked about experiences with hepatic encephalopathy (HE).
I’d also like to quote @contentandwell who offered a very apt explanation about HE in a previous discussion –
“Hepatic encephalopathy...which is somewhat common with liver problems, or at least it is with cirrhosis. It is confusion and irrationality that is caused by the liver not filtering out toxins, specifically ammonia, so it travels to your brain and causes HE.”
Here are more details from the American Liver foundation:

@racing212, how are you treating the HE at present?
