NCT06483737

Hepatic encephalopathy (HE), a severe complication of decompensated cirrhosis, is characterized as neurocognitive dysfunction. Emerging evidence suggests the potential role of human albumin infusion for the treatment of HE, but its optimal dosage remains undefined. Therefore, the investigators planned a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to compare the efficacy of human albumin infusion at different dosages in in patients with liver cirrhosis and overt HE.
