Abstract
The EASL/AASLD guidelines stipulate that both neomycin and metronidazole may be used as alternatives for the treatment of overt HE, whereas the Italian guidelines state that these antibiotics are currently not recommended, mainly because of their potential systemic toxicity. This study aims to evaluate the utility of aminoglycosides and metronidazole vs. placebo, non-absorbable disaccharides (NAD) and other active treatment, for the management of HE in adults with cirrhosis
