Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) influences short-term and long-term prognoses. Recently, glycerol phenylbutyrate (PB), that lowers ammonia by providing an alternate pathway to urea for waste nitrogen excretion, has shown that it was effective in preventing the occurrence of HE in RCT. The aim was to assess the benefits of sodium PB in cirrhotic patients admitted to ICU for overt HE, in terms of ammonia levels decrease, neurological improvement, and survival.

- The study aimed to evaluate how often glomerular and tubular proteinuria occurs in HIV-infected patients and identify related risk factors.
- Conducted in Montpellier, France, it involved 1210 HIV-positive adults and utilized urine test ratios to differentiate proteinuria types based on kidney damage.
- Findings revealed that 18.2% of participants with normal kidney function had proteinuria predominantly of the tubular type, with glomerular issues linked to age, diabetes, and hypertension, while tubular problems connected to factors like tenofovir use and AIDS stage.
