Abstract
Background and Aims: Psychometric hepatic encephalopathy score (PHES) is used widely for diagnosis of minimal hepatic encephalopathy (MHE). This prospective study aimed to determine the utility of the inhibitory control test (ICT) for the diagnosis of MHE. Additionally, the efficacy of rifaximin and lactulose for reversal of MHE was evaluated.Keywords
