Hepatic Encephalopathy

An overview of one of the more common complications of cirrhosis, including its pathophysiology (and relationship to ammonia), risk factors, clinical presentation (including asterixis), diagnosis, and treatment.

EDIT: I know the closing refers to 2 as-of-yet not uploaded videos (hepatorenal syndrome, upper GI bleeds in cirrhosis) - they will be posted within the next 2 weeks.
