Abstract
Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is one of the most severe complications following transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS). The identification and treatment of risk factors associated with the development of this complication may reduce the incidence and severity of post-TIPS HE. Several studies have demonstrated that the nutritional status plays a major role in the outcome of the cirrhotic population, particularly those who are decompensated. Although scarce, there are also studies highlighting an association between poor nutritional status, sarcopenia, fragile status, and post-TIPS HE. If these data are confirmed, nutritional support could become a means for decreasing this complication, thereby enhancing the use of TIPs in the treatment of refractory ascites or variceal bleeding. In this review, we will discuss the pathogenesis of HE, the data that supports an association with sarcopenia, nutritional status and frailty and the implications that these conditions have on the use of TIPS in clinical practice.
期刊介绍：
The Journal Acta Gastro-Enterologica Belgica principally publishes peer-reviewed original manuscripts, reviews, letters to editors, book reviews and guidelines in the field of clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology, including digestive oncology, digestive pathology, as well as nutrition. Pure animal or in vitro work will not be considered for publication in the Journal. Translational research papers (including sections of animal or in vitro work) are considered by the Journal if they have a clear relationship to or relevance for clinical hepato-gastroenterology (screening, disease mechanisms and/or new therapies). Case reports and clinical images will be accepted if they represent an important contribution to the description, the pathogenesis or the treatment of a specific gastroenterology or liver problem. The language of the Journal is English. Papers from any country will be considered for publication. Manuscripts submitted to the Journal should not have been published previously (in English or any other language), nor should they be under consideration for publication elsewhere. Unsolicited papers are peer-reviewed before it is decided whether they should be accepted, rejected, or returned for revision. Manuscripts that do not meet the presentation criteria (as indicated below) will be returned to the authors. Papers that go too far beyond the scope of the journal will be also returned to the authors by the editorial board generally within 2 weeks. The Journal reserves the right to edit the language of papers accepted for publication for clarity and correctness, and to make formal changes to ensure compliance with AGEB’s style. Authors have the opportunity to review such changes in the proofs.
