- Abstract
- This paper focuses on psychiatric aspects of portal-systemic encephalopathy (PSE) due to chronic liver disease and/or portal-systemic shunting. Clinical syndromes of PSE are discussed from the point of view of biological psychiatry, but, psychological consequences of concomitant cognitive disorders are also addressed. Psychiatric symptoms of early PSE and sleep disorders in patients with chronic liver disease are of specific interest.
