Analysis of serum amino acids and tryptophan metabolites to predict hepatic encephalopathy in portal hypertension patients receiving a transjugular intrahepatic portal shunt (TIPS)

IntroductionThe incidence of hepatic encephalopathy (HE) after transjugular intrahepatic portal shunt (TIPS) is over 30%, how to decrease the occurrence rate of HE is one of the most challenging issues after TIPS surgery. The aim of this study is to identify the potential biomarker that can predict...
