Article Synopsis
- Serum electrolyte imbalances are common in patients with decompensated cirrhosis experiencing hepatic encephalopathy, but their impact on patient outcomes is poorly understood.
- A study involving 385 patients measured baseline electrolyte levels at admission and assessed their correlation with outcomes like survival and ICU admission.
- While initial analysis showed some associations with bicarbonate and phosphorus levels, these lost significance after accounting for other factors, indicating that electrolyte levels are not reliable predictors of outcomes in hepatic encephalopathy.
